I watched the replay of CCTV's annual economic person award today. Among the winners, Liu Yonghao, the chairman of New Hope Group, was awarded the prize by his second brother Liu Yong. Many years ago, there was a pair of parents who had four children. With a particularly good wish, they called these four names "good words and good deeds".

Liu Yonghao delivered this acceptance speech:

This year is New Year's Day, and I'm going back to my hometown, Xinjin County, Sichuan Province. The statue is the statue of my parents, who have passed away. Every year, my brothers and I will go to my parents and report to them what we have done this year and what we will do next year. This year, I reported a lot and talked a lot. I feel that our parents ask us to do things. First of all, we must have a conscience and be worthy of farmers and people around us.

When I was a child, I knew best about Liu Caiwen, the grandfather of the Liu Yonghao brothers. It was in the 1970s that we learned from textbooks that Liu, the landlord of Dayi County, Sichuan Province, brutally exploited farmers and set up rent collection offices. There is also a water dungeon at home to hold farmers who resist him. These are constantly instilled in adults and children as a history of class struggle.

Later, the historical truth was slowly revealed. Liu was charitable, building schools, building roads, setting up industries and helping neighbors. The so-called water dungeon in his house is just a warehouse for storing food.

History seems to have played a joke. The grandson of the former big landlord inherited the tradition of his grandfather and family and continued to start a business to repay the society and the people.
