("Perfect Co.") in 1993. Over the years, Perfect Co. has continued to grow and has become a modern enterprise engaging in scientific research, production, sales and services. Making cumulative tax contribution of around RMB38.8 billion, Perfect Co. has become the largest taxpayer in Zhongshan. Adhering to a lifelong philosophy of positivity, optimism and hard work, Dr. HOOY Kok Wai contemplated starting a second business, and joined forces with Mr. ZHONG Xueyong to lead China Wantian Holdings, developing it as an enterprise that safeguards people's food safety and promotes the urban economy to fulfil the promise of helping people live better lives. In recent years, China Wantian Holdings has actively responded to China's call to improve people's health, embracing green development and adopting a mission to enable thousands of families to eat well every day, and it has worked tirelessly to become a leading lifestyle service provider in China.

Mustering a Hakka spirit of diligence, innovation and pragmatism, Mr. ZHONG Xueyong founded Wangu Group in 2012 and accumulated the means to contribute to society through developing his business.

In 2018, with Dr. HOOY Kok Wai, Mr. ZHONG Xueyong founded WG Sky Farm International Group, which develops the rooftops of schools, government offices, hospitals and factories to create distinctive sky farm and grow organic vegetables, advancing healthy lifestyles, environmental protection and afforestation. In addition to setting an example for a new generation of entrepreneurs, Mr. ZHONG Xueyong never forgets his origins and always remembers past kindnesses he has received.

As of 2021, he had organized more than 100 public welfare activities and had donated tens of millions renminbi to the disadvantaged group, directly benefiting over 100,000 people.
The honours of the World Outstanding Chinese Award and the World Outstanding Chinese Youth Entrepreneur Award recognise the business philosophies and social influence of Dr. HOOY Kok Wai and Mr. ZHONG Xueyong over the years, during which they have distinguished themselves through their kindness and by cultivating a strong sense of social responsibility among China Wantian Holdings' management. "For being well prepared and raring to go, god rewards those who work hard," is Dr. HOOY Kok Wai's motto. As management at the Group, Dr. HOOY Kok Wai believes that he must set a good example for his employees.

The Group will promote environmental education at enterprises and in schools in order to support the sustainable development of the GBA. In the future, leveraging the honours received by Dr. HOOY Kok Wai and Mr. ZHONG Xueyong, China Wantian Holdings will proactively establish a development path for the GBA in line with China's national development plan and net-zero carbon emissions target, with the aim of becoming a leading green enterprise brand in the region.
The 3rd Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area Outstanding Young Entrepreneur Award Ceremony, co-organized and sponsored by China Wantian Holdings, was held simultaneously in Hong Kong, Macau and Shenzhen on 21 September 2022. One-hundred-and-two winners were selected from fields including semiconductors, autonomous driving, healthcare, home economics and the Internet of Things, based on their contributions and outstanding achievements in the GBA.
