2022-06-14

Looking across the river from the office on the South Bank of Qiantang River in Hangzhou, you can have a panoramic view of the prosperity of Qianjiang New Town on the other bank. This scene often makes luyingjie sigh with great emotion: "when I first came, there was only a telecommunications building standing alone in a farmland." The 25 years since Hong Kong's return to the motherland are also the most critical 25 years for Lu Yingjie to work and start a business between Hangzhou and Hong Kong. In 1997, this young Hong Kong man started a new life course with dreams and left the golden years of his career by the Qiantang River. Lu Yingjie was born and raised in Hong Kong. After completing his university education, he went to the United States for further study, and successively served as a senior financial officer of a number of world science and technology enterprises in Singapore and other places. (luyingjie is in his office in Hangzhou.) On the eve of the handover, Lu Yingjie chose to return to Hong Kong from Singapore. "My parents came to Hong Kong from Guangdong in their early years. Their cultural level is not high, but they often remind me where I came from. This identity has been engraved into my bones since childhood." Recalling the historical moment when he witnessed the return 25 years ago, luyingjie said, "I can only think of the word 'excited' because I really feel that I have a motherland from that moment on." One month later, luyingjie received a notice from the headquarters that he would start two new Sino foreign joint ventures in Hangzhou. He vaguely felt that in the new century, the mainland would enter a period of rapid development, and his long-term financial work could bring more experience to the mainland and find a better stage for personal development. On August 24, 1997, luyingjie, 36, came to Hangzhou as the chief financial officer of Hangzhou Motorola Mobile Communication Co., Ltd. and then took up the post of senior financial officer of many enterprises. He has been rooted in Hangzhou for 25 years. "I often say that Hong Kong has returned, and so have I." Luyingjie is glad to witness the high-speed period of national economic development. He recalled that when he first came to Hangzhou, although he lived in the downtown area, the street appearance was still backward compared with those of Beijing, Shanghai and Guangzhou. "At that time, I couldn't get a taxi outside. I also had the experience of riding a tricycle around the city." "Over the years, the consumption capacity of mainland residents has improved, and the transportation and business environment have also improved. The Internet economy is undoubtedly the biggest bright spot." Luyingjie said. After getting married and having children in Hangzhou, Lu Yingjie has become a mirror of the cultural integration of Zhejiang and Hong Kong: he is still an unchangeable "Hong Kong stomach", and takes his family to "punch in" different tea restaurants every week; At the same time, he also learned the leisure of Hangzhou people, and was keen to invite friends to tea houses and take a walk by the West Lake. Looking back 25 years, he was proud of two things. First, with his financial management experience accumulated over the years, he helped many young people of the company find the direction and goal of personal development, and brought out a group of excellent financial talents. "There are many people who have already been chief financial officers of listed companies and have already surpassed me." Luyingjie said with a smile that the sense of achievement brought by this "wave after wave pushes wave before wave" is unparalleled. (in february2016, luyingjie took a photo at the West Lake in Hangzhou.) Another event was to promote Hangzhou's investment environment on the US consumer news and business channel (CNBC) at the invitation of Hangzhou, in the capacity of the executive vice president of the Hong Kong Chamber of Commerce in Zhejiang Province, and to attend the special promotion Hangzhou event held by Davos in Seoul, South Korea. "As a 'new Hangzhou native', I should contribute to the development of my second hometown." Luyingjie said. What makes luyingjie even more gratified is that after the return of Hong Kong, more and more Hong Kong compatriots' investment and entrepreneurship footprints have been left along the Qiantang River. According to the data from Zhejiang Provincial Bureau of statistics, Hong Kong will be the largest source of foreign direct investment in Zhejiang in 2022. With a flick of his fingers, Lu Yingjie was in his early 60s. At the age of retirement, he joined a young team with an average age of 30, and regarded this as "the last ideal and the last challenge of his career". "The state has included open source in the top-level design in the outline of the 14th five year plan. It is on this track that we are exploring the commercialization of open source in line with China's development characteristics through a new joint venture model." Luyingjie said. "Encouraged by the reform and opening-up policy, the older generation of Hong Kong people went north to invest and benefited a lot from it. Our generation grasped the pulse of the times of returning to the motherland and resonated with the rapid development of the mainland." This time, Lu Yingjie came with feelings and "hopes to help the country do something in terms of independent and controllable innovative technologies", which may be the best footnote to the feelings of his generation of Hong Kong people. "Hong Kong and the motherland will go through many 25 years hand in hand, and now is a new starting point." Lu Yingjie said affectionately, "I hope young people in Hong Kong will take the initiative to embrace a new round of development opportunities. Only by closely connecting personal development with the lifeblood of the country can they find the best direction for themselves." (Xinhua News Agency)
