According to Hong Kong media reports on November 11, Macau’s famous philanthropist Lui Che-woo passed away on November 7 at the age of 95.
Galaxy Entertainment issued an obituary, confirming the death of company chairman Lui Che-woo, praising " his vision, excellent leadership and guidance as the cornerstone of the group's development and continued success" and expressing its deepest condolences for his passing.
According to Hong Kong media reports, Lui Che-woo's last appearance was on October 1, when he participated in the National Day flag-raising ceremony in a wheelchair. There were staff on the side to help hold an umbrella. His expression was serious, with his hands on his legs, looking at the national flag. He rose slowly, with tears in his eyes.
What is even more embarrassing is that Lui Che-woo also received a visit from the Olympic athletes in August this year. At that time, he communicated with Sun Yingsha, Quan Hongchan and others. His mental state was quite good. Unexpectedly, he was in a hurry just a few months ago. Pass away.
Lui Che-woo has been committed to charity throughout his life. He has donated and built more than 100 hope schools in the mainland. Named "Lui Che Woo Star".
Lui Che-woo's philanthropic undertakings have never stopped. Last year he donated 250 million to Shanghai Jiao Tong University. In 2015, he donated 150 million to Peking University. He is known as the "first philanthropist" among the richest people in Hong Kong and Macao.
It is reported that Lui Che-woo is from Xinhui County, Guangdong . He moved to Hong Kong with his parents at the age of 4. He was forced to drop out of school during the Anti-Japanese War. At the age of 13, he shouldered the responsibility of supporting his family. He started as a small businessman and hawker. He initially ran food manufacturing and wholesale in Yau Ma Tei, and then established his own business. Open an auto parts sales company.
In 1955, Lui Che-woo established the "Jiahua Company" to mainly provide materials for the reclamation project. He was once known as the "King of Stone Mines".
In the early 1970s, Lui Che-woo focused on the development of Hong Kong's hotel industry and cooperated with many international 5-star hotels. He successively won the management rights of 20 American hotels and enjoyed the reputation of "Hotel Tycoon".
The most talked about thing about Lui Che Woo is that he won the Macau gaming license after 2000, single-handedly defeated 18 world-class opponents, and operated the " Galaxy Entertainment " resort for more than 20 years. , has secured the top spot in Macau’s gaming industry and has become another legendary gambling king after Stanley Ho.
Unlike the gambling king's "three wives and four concubines", Lui Che-woo only has one wife, Zhao Jinping, and they have three sons and two daughters. Although there is a lot of discussion about their marriage on the Internet, Lui Che-woo sticks to the bottom line and grows old with his wife.
In September this year, the couple also celebrated Lui Che-woo's 95th birthday, and the four generations had a great time together.
Whether it is an entrepreneurial story or personality charm, Mr. Lui Che-woo is almost perfect. From penniless to a business tycoon with a US$14.5 billion, he has ridden the wind and waves and created miracles. I hope this man who loves China, Hong Kong, Macao and Hong Kong will continue to work hard. Have a good trip, old gentleman.
