19171kloc-0/October 23rd, Ying Chang was born in Guihuatang, Huang Yu Pavilion, Cicheng Town, Cixi County. From an early age, he was intelligent, quick-thinking, reading and reciting, and achieved excellent results. After graduating from primary school, he entered Cihu Commercial School, but later, due to family poverty, he could not continue his studies, so he went to Shanghai Tong Yuan Bank as an apprentice. In my spare time, in order to make up for my lack of academic qualifications, I made great efforts to teach myself English, mathematics, graphics and text, bank accounting and other subjects, and studied calligraphy and epigraphy under the famous calligrapher Zhao Shuru. In a few years, I have made great progress in knowledge. Later, it happened that Fujian Bank recruited three senior staff in Shanghai and decided to register with the qualification of "equivalent education" for a long time. As a result, it broke through three levels in a row, and stood out from more than 0/00 competitors in/kloc with the excellent result of the first place, making an exception and being admitted. This incident caused a sensation in the banking industry in Shanghai.
Mr. Ying loves his country and his hometown, and he is enthusiastic about serving mulberry. Has donated money to establish Cicheng Changqi Kindergarten and rebuild Cicheng Zhongcheng Primary School and Cihu Middle School. Donated to expand Bao Li Hospital in Cicheng; Donate to build Ningbo Friendship Association and Taipei Friendship Center. Invested in the establishment of Ningbo Modern Building Materials Co., Ltd. and Lihua Wool Industry Co., Ltd. to fully promote the economic construction and social development of my hometown. When Yingchang worked in Fujian Bank, it happened that War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression broke out and the southeast provinces fell one after another. The provincial banks moved to Xiamen, Ganzhou, Hengyang, Guiyang and Chongqing with the provincial government. During her stay in Yingchang, she was also ordered to be responsible for the branches along the way, working in Nanping, Yong 'an, Changting, Ganzhou, Hengyang and Chongqing. When enemy planes bombard indiscriminately, the traffic is dangerous and difficult. 1In August, 945, after the victory of the Anti-Japanese War, Yingchang joined the Bank of Taiwan again. In the past seventeen years, he served as the head office, business and external department manager of Bank of Taiwan, and was later promoted to deputy general manager and acting general manager. During this period, the chairman and general manager of Taiwan Bank changed from time to time, but he was the only one who was the mainstay and presided over the business of the whole bank for a long time. He can be said to be the real head of the Bank of Taiwan. During his tenure, he made many plans, made many achievements and made many innovative moves. His talent and character have been greatly appreciated by successive presidents, and the industrial and commercial circles in Taiwan Province Province also admire him.
At the beginning of 1963, Yingchang officially left the Bank of Taiwan to join the industry. At the invitation of a friend, he became the chairman of Guohua Ocean Enterprise Company. At the same time, he began to build his first truly independent enterprise-Lihua Wool Company. In the following decades, he successively took over Yihua shares and Cathay Chemical, founded the international bank company, and listed them one by one.
With its unique financial wisdom and courage, Yingchang has helped China Wool Mill, Taiwan Province Plush Factory, Tongfa Oil Factory and many other private enterprises on the verge of bankruptcy to restructure and restructure, and embarked on the road of rebirth and development. Cathay Pacific Chemical Company, whose original monthly output was only about 20 tons, gradually increased its monthly output from 60, 100, 200 and 600 tons, and reached 1500 tons in the mid-1990s. It has embarked on the track of rapid development, the quality of products has been continuously improved, and the purity has been increased from 70% to over 90%. Ying Changchang established the International Bill Company and became the chairman of the board because the Ministry of Finance and the Bank of China admired its reputation in the financial sector and its ability in economic management, and "selected the right person first and made a special appointment". As the first bill finance company initiated by Taiwan Province Province, International Bill Company not only made its own money during the successful operation in 10, but also played an important role in stabilizing the financial order in Taiwan Province Province and promoting the economic development in Taiwan Province Province.
While gaining a firm foothold in the business circles of Taiwan Province Province, Yingchang is actively expanding its business overseas. Unilever Australia was established, which was the first wholly Chinese-owned company in Australia at that time, and was highly valued by the Australian government and wool suppliers. Later, it acquired an old Australian company named "Miracle", which specializes in foreign procurement. Unilever Australia and Kyrgyzstan soon became the main participants in Taiwan Province's foreign trade. Now it seems that Unilever Australia Company was one of the major companies in Taiwan Province's trade development at that time, and it was also the main bridge for Taiwanese businessmen to set foot in Australian trade in the early days. 1983, INKO Company was established in Silicon Valley, south of San Francisco, USA. The company is mainly managed by Ying Hao Ming, the son of Ying Chang, and produces a high-tech product "protective film". Due to high-tech content and good income, the company's employees have grown to more than 170, and customers are all over the world. In addition, Yingchang also registered two real estate investment companies in the United States, and both of them performed well.
During the period of Yingchang, "learning to blow in nearly half a year", he seized every fleeting opportunity and gave full play to his intelligence, which made this achievement in the thirty years of rapid economic development and unpredictable things in Taiwan Province Province. 199 1 year, due to his advanced age, Ying Changqi voluntarily resigned as the chairman of the company, hoping that the board of directors would push another young and capable director to take on this important task. Despite repeated requests from the directors, Yingchang refused to accept his resignation, so he was hired as honorary chairman. He also resigned as the chairman of Cathay Chemical and Lihua Wool for the same reason. Since then, the name of the government in Yingchang period has only written the six characters of "Fangzheng Government". Mr. Ying Changqi has a successful career in his life, but what makes him known to the world is his indissoluble bond with Weiqi. Yingchang has a strong interest in Go since he was a child. At the age of 6, he learned to go, and at the age of 12, he signed up for the Weiqi Competition in Cixi County and won the championship. When I was an intern in Shanghai Tong Yuan Bank, I didn't forget to play Weiqi and studied hard, although my income was meager. At the same time, he also contributed to Shanghai News, suggesting holding a news chess match and opening a Go column. After reading the letter, the news chief clapped his hands and cheered, and really ran a Go column, which became a beautiful talk. Even during the eight-year anti-Japanese war, life was hard to taste, and he took Go with him. Arrived in Taiwan Province Province from 65438 to 0946 AD, and set up a chess room at home after settling down, known as "five windows full of food", inviting friends and relatives to play chess and learn chess.
Yingchang lived in Shanghai in his early years, and witnessed that the Japanese chess institute system was good and the chess books were complete, while the domestic chess style declined and no one cared. He was deeply moved by the ups and downs of Go between China and China, so he had the ambition to revitalize's chess and reform Go. 1952, China Go Club returned to the motherland in Taibei. It served as Director-General for a long time, and later served as Vice-Chairman and Chairman. For decades, he has devoted himself to the popularization of Weiqi and made great contributions to its development. He established a professional Go system, held many news chess games, and greatly promoted the cause of Go with the help of the media. In the past 20 years, he has devoted himself to researching and inventing new rules of Go with the "counting system" as the core, abolishing unreasonable precedents in Japanese chess rules with complete and fair rules, and achieving the goal of "no precedent" and "less draw", which is praised as "the most reasonable and complete rules of Go so far, meeting the needs of the times"; Established "Yingchang Weiqi Education Foundation", and donated NT$ 1 100 million with the face value of its affiliated enterprises as the Weiqi promotion and revitalization fund. Now the donation of RMB 654.38 billion has increased to NT$ 800 million; Donated 65.438+0.3 billion yuan to establish "Yingchang Weiqi School" to train young players and create more Weiqi teachers; Undertaking many international competitions such as "Ying's Cup" World Professional Weiqi Championship and "World Youth Weiqi Competition", vigorously promoting Weiqi and devoting to "making Weiqi go to the world".
1996,10/October 23rd, on the occasion of Yingchang's 80th birthday, the Shanghai Yingchang Go Education Foundation, which was founded by him with a donation of 654.38+600 million yuan, was formally established, and the foundation laying ceremony of Yingchang Go School was held in Shanghai. Mr. Ying Chang personally went to Shanghai in spite of his illness and delivered a warm speech at the groundbreaking ceremony. It was really a "serious illness".
Of course, among all the things that Ying Changyu has done, the most commendable is the Ying's Cup World Professional Go Championship initiated by him and described by the mass media as "the most influential, highest prize and most international in the world". (Before Yingchang period, this World Professional Go Championship was held for three times, and the first prize was as high as $400,000). 1In August, 988, the first "Ying's Cup" Weiqi tournament opened in Beijing. Before and after the opening of the competition, it caused a global sensation, and the media in various countries paid attention to it one after another, calling it the "Olympic Games" in Weiqi, while Ying Changyu herself was praised as "the only one in China" and "the black and white Nobel Prize". Mr. Ying Changqi enthusiastically advocated Weiqi all his life, and he has never slacked off for forty years. He didn't forget his Go game during his illness or even before his death. He can be said to be a well-deserved "Go Hero". 1On September 3rd, 988, just after the preliminary round of the first "Shi Ying Cup" World Professional Go Championship, Yingchang couldn't wait to return to his hometown of Cicheng after 43 years' absence. Ying Chang, who doesn't like publicity, went back to his hometown to visit relatives as a private tourist, but his hometown people who got the news in advance gave him due courtesy: the local government renovated his birthplace-the old house of Guihuatang in Yuhuangge; At that time, city and district leaders took the initiative to visit their homes and welcomed the elderly to return to their hometown for the first time.
After visiting his alma mater, Zhongcheng Primary School, Ying Changqi offered: "An old house like Zhongcheng Primary School can't be repaired, so it can only be demolished and rebuilt." And as promised, after returning to Taipei, I sent my fourth brother Ying Changshi to Ningbo to inspect and implement the donation and reconstruction.
Three years later, in August 199 1, 10, the reconstruction of Zhongcheng Primary School with the donation of Mr. Ying Changqi10.4 million dollars was officially completed. In order to take this opportunity to "educate" his relatives, friends and children all over the world, he received a delegation of 74 overseas guests in Ningbo to attend the inauguration ceremony.
It was at this grand celebration that Ying Changqi happily accepted the suggestions of the local government and friends and simply set up a "one-stop" education model project in his hometown. ...
1On August 5, 1994, the Chess Advocacy Kindergarten, which donated 4.5 million yuan during the Yingchang period, was completed. "Advocating chess" means advocating Weiqi, and the purpose of establishing the school is to carry forward the quintessence of Chinese culture and popularize Weiqi education, which also reflects the lofty ideal pursued by Mr. Ying Changqi all his life.
1On August 27th, 1994, the reconstruction project of Cihu Middle School with a donation of130,000 yuan from Yingchang was completely completed. At the same time, he also donated money to build Taipei Ningbo Hometown Association Hall and Ningbo Friendship Center, and donated money to Ningbo Charity Federation. Even when he was terminally ill, Mr. Ying Changqi never forgot to run an industrial and commercial university for his hometown.
In addition, he also actively invested and set up industries in Ningbo. For example, the project invested by Hyundai Building Materials Co., Ltd. with a total investment of 30 million US dollars started in June 1992 (located in Sanguantang, Ningbo) and put into production in August 1993. By August 1997, five world-class production lines were introduced with a total investment of 40,000 yuan. The project of Lihua (Ningbo) Wool Industry Co., Ltd. with an investment of 50 million US dollars was originally considered to be built in Pudong, Shanghai. Due to Ningbo's active struggle, Yingchang finally chose Ningbo in order to revitalize his hometown economy. The contract was signed in August 1992, started in June/kloc-0 (located in front of Xiaogang Dam in Ningbo), and was put into production in March/993, which really created a "Ningbo speed". 1In August, 1996, Shang Lihua Phase II Project decided to invest 25 million US dollars during her illness. The expansion project was started at the end of 1996 and put into operation at the beginning of 1999. At present, Lihua (Ningbo) Wool Industry Co., Ltd. is far ahead of Japan in scale and output, and Japan is the second in Asia, while Lihua Taipei and Lihua Ningbo can rank third in the world if they merge.
Later, Mr. Ying Changqi had the intention to rebuild Bao Li Hospital in Cicheng, so he donated $6,543,800+0.5 million to build a garden-style Bao Li Hospital to carry forward the noble medical ethics and excellent hospital spirit in the past. 1July, 1997 17, a donation ceremony was held at Bao Li Hospital in Cicheng. Unfortunately, the old man missed the inauguration ceremony of Xinning Bobaoli Hospital and died on August 27th, 1997 at the age of 8 1.
