Chinese-educated professionals are driving China forward, as their dreams light the way ahead. The "2017 Third Annual Gala Celebrating the Chinese Dream of Returned Overseas Talents," hosted by the People's Forum Magazine of the People's Daily, kicked off on January 8 in Beijing. At the event, Wei Chenghui, Executive Chairman of Singapore’s first food group, expressed his admiration for Lee Kuan Yew’s visionary outlook. Back in the 1990s, Lee Kuan Yew led a delegation to China and immediately recognized the country’s immense market potential. He not only encouraged the promotion of Mandarin but also championed the idea of expanding outward. Singapore has always maintained a keen interest in China’s development and its vibrant Chinese community—and indeed, these two have been inseparable in terms of mutual growth and collaboration. "The Belt and Road Initiative is far more than just an ordinary concept; it’s a groundbreaking, globally integrated vision that can connect the entire world. I firmly believe this initiative will profoundly shape future development, enhance human well-being, and ultimately bring about historic transformations—changes that will resonate across generations."
Wei Chenghui believes that when it comes to the relationship between wealth and personal fulfillment, using one’s wealth to help lift others out of poverty and contribute positively to society and humanity is truly meaningful. He emphasizes that achieving success requires hard work, dedication, and a strong commitment to one’s goals. With effort, a talented team, and smart decision-making, success is almost inevitable. However, becoming a billionaire often feels like a matter of chance—something beyond our control. Wei also notes that external factors can significantly influence an individual’s capabilities, so there’s no need to obsess over how much money you earn. "Twenty years ago, my experience traveling to countries like France and Japan was vastly different from today," he reflects. "Nowadays, you’ll find people speaking Chinese everywhere you go—proof that China is growing stronger and more influential every day. With 1.3 billion people striving toward the Chinese Dream, this isn’t just any ordinary achievement; the world simply cannot afford to ignore China anymore."
