A Businessman's "Five Virtues"

Text by Chu Jiwang

My 23 years of foreign trade experience has molded me into an astute businessman, which requires "five virtues": patriotism, gratitude, innovation, mercy, and persistence.

My business could never have succeeded without China's implementation of the economic reform and opening-up policies as well as the nation's healthy economic ties with 135 countries and regions from which my clients hail.

I'm grateful to the leaders who created this exciting environment through championing equality, mutual benefits, and win-win policies. I’m particularly grateful for decade-long clients from the United States, the United Kingdom, Denmark, the Netherlands, and Germany, some of whom have been working with me for over 20 years. I don’t recall how many times I visited each country, but I was always welcomed with my national flag, and I did the same in return.

My two decades of efforts have revealed to me a key to success: innovation. During the early days of economic reform and opening up, I was bold but blind and speculative, which would open few business doors today. Success is impossible without wisdom, teamwork, opportunity, and diversification.

I’m blessed with a merciful heart. Encounters with poverty-stricken residents of some developing countries remind me of myself before my business success. I was no better than them. Thus, I can never forget who I am and from where I come. During my overseas hotel stays, I seize every opportunity to conserve electricity, water, food, and even napkins. I never haggle when purchasing souvenirs - the asking price seems fair if I like the item. I feel embarrassed when I don’t have any change in my pocket for beggars.

There are so many people in need, and I wish I had the resources to help all of them.

Many of my classmates, colleagues, and friends are retired and enjoying more time with their families, but I’m still working, and working hard. I’ll never quit as long as I am healthy enough to shoulder the burdens. My mind still works. I still find time to stay in touch with my children and their children, fulfilling my roles in both my family and society.
