At 10 a.m. on February 28, 2024, a memorial service for Zong Qinghou, the soul of Wahaha Group, was held at the Xiasha base in Hangzhou. At that time, Hangzhou citizens, Zong Qinghou's relatives, friends, colleagues and business partners came in the rain to commemorate this great entrepreneur. At the memorial service, Zong Qinghou's wife Shi Youzhen came with the support of her daughter Zong Fuli, and recalled with tears in her eyes that she had lived with her husband for 44 years through thick and thin.
The love story between Zong Qinghou and Shi Youzhen began in 1979, when the two met through an old teacher. Shi Youzhen met Zong Qinghou when he was an educated youth in the Heilongjiang Construction Corps, and Zong Qinghou was engaged in a career as an educated youth in Suqian, Jiangsu. The common experience of the two makes them have a common language, and they constantly pour out each other's ups and downs and life ideals. Life after marriage is not rich, Shi Youzhen and Zong Qinghou are both dual-income workers, with limited salaries, and they also need to raise their daughter Zong Fuli. In order to save money, Shi Youzhen often eats a fish in several meals. However, Zong Qinghou always cherished the dream of changing the family's living situation, and in 1987 he actively contracted the school-run factory distribution department, and exceeded the income generation target. Under the leadership of Zong Qinghou, the school-run factory gradually grew.
Zong Qinghou's commercial success did not make him forget his original intention and family, and when he learned that many children like to eat snacks but are not nutritious, he decided to produce and sell children's nutrient solution. In order to develop high-quality products, he hired Zhang Honghui, the technical director, many times, and vacated a new home for him, while he and his family returned to the old house. Zhang Honghui was moved by Zong Qinghou's sincerity and determination, and eventually joined the Wahaha team.
At the memorial service, Shi Youzhen shared with the people present the good time she spent with Zong Qinghou, and told the difficult process of Zong Qinghou's growth from a school-run factory manager to the head of Wahaha Group. Her words were full of admiration and nostalgia for her husband, and her strength and courage infected everyone present.
The passing of Zong Qinghou has deprived us of a great entrepreneur, but his spirit and career will always remain in our hearts. As Shi Youzhen said: "Mr. Zong Qinghou is a person with dreams, pursuits, and a sense of responsibility, and he has been working hard all his life to realize his dreams. "This spirit will always inspire us to move forward.
