2022 marks the 73rd anniversary of the founding of the People's Republic of China and the 25th anniversary of Hong Kong's return to the motherland. All walks of life in Hong Kong will celebrate these two events together and hold various celebrations around the National Day. Many businessmen and celebrities participated, including gambling king He Hongshen's second daughter He Chaoqiong , who produced a special program "Seeing a Letter from Home" in conjunction with the Hong Kong Women's United Association, Xinde Group , and TVB. Becoming a guest of the first episode of the program and broadcasting it on the National Day is very special in form and meaning.
From another perspective, in order to celebrate the National Day, He Chaoqiong released many old photos of visiting the motherland, as well as photos of meeting national leaders with his father. In the program, she also talked about the feeling of entering Beijing for the first time 36 years ago, and even disclosed the family motto of her father Stanley Ho, expressing a strong patriotism.
In fact, even if He Chaoqiong does not disclose Stanley Ho's family motto, the outside world knows that "patriotism, love for Hong Kong, and love for Macao" are the family motto of Stanley Ho's family. This family motto is not only for the children of the second room, but also for the children of the third and fourth rooms. Therefore, the entire He Hongshen family has been abiding by this family motto for many years, no matter whether it is a person or a work, it has not been divorced from it. Now that He Hongshen has passed away, as the leader of the family, He Chaoqiong has upheld his father's legacy and continued to implement and carry forward this family motto.
He Chaoqiong talked about the relationship between herself and the motherland in the program. She disclosed her special feelings for the motherland in the form of a family letter. Thirty-six years ago, in 1986, He Chaoqiong set foot in Beijing for the first time, which opened the connection between her and the motherland. At that time, Hong Kong had not yet returned, but the road to return had already begun. Influenced by Western culture since childhood, she only had a perceptual understanding of the mainland of the motherland from books. At that time, she had returned from studying abroad and returned to Hong Kong to work in Stanley Ho's company, and learned that Stanley Ho wanted to start a business in the mainland, so she volunteered to propose to her father the idea of visiting the mainland.
24-year-old He Chaoqiong visited Beijing for the first time, and was shocked by the majesty and splendor of the Great Wall of China and the Temple of Heaven. What shocked her most was the style of Beijing Palace Museum , which made her realize the power of the Chinese nation and China The culture has a long and profound history. Since then, she has set a vision to contribute to the dissemination of national culture, so that more people can understand and respect Chinese culture. He Chaoqiong released photos of her first visit to the capital that year, and these photos are quite precious. Although they are all yellowed, the scene at that time is truly restored. In the photo, He Chaoqiong is young and beautiful, dressed in a fashionable manner, and the key point is that she is very good-looking. From this perspective, she and her half-sister He Chaolian are still quite the same. Similar, because the two look a lot like He Hongshen, and they both absorbed the advantages of their mothers, and they deserve to be responsible for the appearance of the daughters of the He family.
In addition to publishing photos of 24-year-old visiting the capital, He Chaoqiong also published photos of meeting with his father Hongshen and accompanying leaders of different countries. It shows that He Chaoqiong became He Hongshen's number one successor, and she played a key and decisive role in inheriting her father's legacy. What He Chaoqiong said in the program is to make a big wish to contribute to the inheritance of national culture. This is not a polite word. Looking back on these years, He Chaoqiong has been achieving this goal with practical actions. She actively participated in the work of cultural heritage and became the vice chairman of China Cultural Relics Protection Foundation . These are all wages and she needs to take extra time to take care of them. She never complained. In 2019, she led her family members to return the bronze statue of the horse head in Yuanmingyuan to the country, fulfilling her father's greatest wish. All of this was facilitated by her silent push behind the scenes.
He Chaoqiong has a patriotic heart, which is influenced by her family. She admits that her parents were very patriotic when they were alive. As an entrepreneur over the years, whenever the motherland encounters difficulties, such as natural and man-made disasters, floods and epidemics, He Chaoqiong will always do her best to donate money and play a leading role. Under her influence, He HongShen's other children, including He Chaofeng , He Youlong , also followed in her footsteps, and it can be said that the He family is united.
When He Hongshen was alive, he once said that He Chaoqiong was printed in the same mold as himself, not only in appearance, but also in character and personality. Influenced the children to be as patriotic as themselves, the whole family is admirable.
