Zong Qinghou's Legacy: Daughter Vows to Carry on Father's Vision and Principles

The poignant speeches and emotional atmosphere of the event moved many to tears. During her tribute to her father, Zong Huarui vowed to complete his unfulfilled wishes and shoulder the heavy responsibilities left to her. The attendees were moved by her determination, and she received an outpouring of support for her commitment to carrying on her father's legacy. Zong Qinghou, who passed away on February 25th at the age of 79, was known for his dedication to his business and his employees. Many netizens expressed their condolences and praised him for being a rare, conscientious businessman in today's world. Some pointed out the scarcity of such individuals, while others hoped that Huiyuan Juice Group would continue to prosper under Zong Huarui's leadership. One Weibo user commented, "I think I understand why Zong Huarui hasn't found a boyfriend. She's waiting for a man like her father, but there are so few left like him." Another user expressed hope for the company's future, saying, "I hope that under Zong Huarui's leadership, the Huiyuan Juice Group will continue to grow and thrive." Some netizens also pointed out Zong Qinghou's humility and care for his employees. One user said, "I'm impressed by the people who can resist the temptations of wealth and fame to stay true to their principles, like Mr. Zong." Another added, "Most people aren't resentful of the wealthy; we just can't stand the capitalists who exploit their workers.

Mr. Zong was different – he was a compassionate businessman, and his company and brands will continue to have our support." Zong Qinghou was committed to developing new products and collaborating with top celebrities for brand endorsements. He believed that entrepreneurs should embrace a 996 work culture – working from 9 am to 9 pm, six days a week – but only if it was their own choice, not forced upon their employees.

Despite the buzz of the memorial ceremony, some media outlets were criticized for omitting a line from Zong Huarui's eulogy where she said, "Follow the Party's guidance and walk with the Party." This sentence was not included in some of the video reports, raising suspicions about whether the omission was intentional or not. As the founder of Huiyuan Juice Group, Zong Qinghou leaves behind a rich legacy and a daughter determined to carry on his vision. His commitment to his business, employees, and principles has left a lasting impact on those who knew him and have followed his journey.

English translation: "Listen to the Party's words and walk with the Party."
