Jiang Liping: Father is strict and loving

Jiang Liping, the third daughter of Jiang Zhen, who participated in the management at the scene, said that her father was both strict and loving, "In the past, if he failed the exam, he would beat the hand, but on weekends [he] would also take his children to swim and eat chicken. Children can order a dish.”

Jiang Liping pointed out that her father's wish was to donate his fortune after his death, and to teach his children not to become "rich second-generation parasites" before he died. The real wonderful life is to rely on yourself and be a useful person, "So each of our brothers and sisters strives to give back to the society. , family members are involved in the political and business world." She also thanked the community for coming to remember her father today, and encouraged Hong Kong people, "As long as you have contributed to the society, someone will remember you!"

Chiang Chen got rich by engaging in industry, but in his early years he decided not to divide his wealth among his wife and children, and instead set up the "Jiang Chen Industrial Charity Fund" to benefit the society.

He has 6 daughters and 1 son, each with their own achievements. Except for Jiang Lihua, the eldest daughter who has immigrated to the United States, who is relatively low-key, the other 6 are well-known in Hong Kong, including the second daughter Jiang Liyun, who is known as "the Yuanqiu in the political arena".

Jiang Liyun: 100 points father

Jiang Liyun said that she was very moved today. Many friends of her father, political and business people mourned him, and there were even old neighbors from decades ago, which proved that her father was indeed recognized by everyone. At the same time, she hoped that her father's charitable fund would continue to flourish.

She pointed out that over the past 30 years, her father's fund has actively contributed to training industrial talents for China, and now China has become the world's factory.

"Dad always said during his life that the Chinese take care of their families and are willing to endure. The Chinese industry will certainly be able to conquer the world and stand up in the world." Although she was saddened by her father's death, Jiang Liyun pointed out that it was God's blessing for her father to be 100 years old. , I am grateful that when my father passed away, he had his children by his side, and what he had to do in his life had been completed, and he was very peaceful when he passed away.

Jiang Liyun even said with tears that his father's success in his career and donating money to charity are second, and more importantly, he is a 100-point father, "No matter how busy he is, he will never miss our big day. For example, it was the first time to perform on stage. Even if I played a tree, my father would participate. He often sent us back to school, and he would cook garlic noodles for us when he was sick.”

Jiang Liyun also pointed out that the father gave 100 points, and he would also get 100 points of love from his children. He was grateful that in the past year, he had spent more time with his father and could take care of his father personally.
