Fuqing, Fujian, Dec. 14 (Xing Ru & Zheng Xunhan) "This time, we came to Zhenghe County to visit Principal Zhuang Guigan, a fellow native of Fuqing. We not only brought tokens of appreciation from the members of the Fuqing Municipal Committee of the Zhi Gong Party but also conveyed the deep affection and goodwill of overseas Chinese toward their hometown in Fujian," said Lin Ruihua, Chair of the Fuqing Municipal Committee's Industrial and Commercial Branch, during a donation and education support activity at Xijin She Ethnic Primary School in Zhenghe County。

On the same day, the Industrial and Commercial Branch and Municipal Branch of the Fuqing Municipal Committee of the Zhi Gong Party jointly organized a delegation of members to visit Zhenghe County, bringing donations from Japanese overseas Chinese businessmen to support education.Fan Minghong, Chairman of the Zhenghe County Overseas Chinese Federation, and others attended the donation ceremony。

At the ceremony, the delegation from the Fuqing Municipal Committee of the Zhi Gong Party handed over a donation of 10,000 RMB for educational support to Principal Zhuang Guigan of Xijin She Ethnic Primary School. The donation was provided by Chen Xi, President of Kashi Bussan Co., Ltd. and a Japanese overseas Chinese businessman。Additionally, He Chaohui, Chair of the Industrial and Commercial Branch and Municipal Branch of the Fuqing Municipal Committee, donated 3,000 RMB and 2,000 RMB, respectively, to Xijin She Ethnic Primary School.

According to reports, Chen Xi is a native of Fuqing, Fujian Province.He currently serves as the President of the Japan Huangbo Culture Promotion Association, Executive Vice President of the Japan China General Chamber of Commerce, President of the Fuzhou University Alumni Association in Japan, Founding Honorary President of the Japan-China Student Exchange Association, and Honorary President of the Fuqing Chamber of Commerce in Japan, among other roles。

For over a decade, Chen Xi has consistently contributed hundreds of thousands of RMB annually to provide scholarships for 300 impoverished children in Jian'ou and Songxi in his hometown of Fujian. Additionally, Chen Xi has actively contributed to public welfare initiatives in both China and Japan. In April 2017, he was awarded the Medal of Honour with Dark Blue Ribbon and a certificate by the Emperor of Japan for his substantial personal contributions to philanthropy. At the time, he was the only Chinese businessman in Japan to receive this prestigious honor。

Not long ago, after hearing an introduction about Principal Zhuang Guigan’s deeds from Zheng Songbo, Minister of External Relations of the Fuqing Committee of the China Zhi Gong Party and Vice President of the Fuqing Huangbo Culture Promotion Association, Chen Xi was deeply moved.He immediately expressed his desire, as a native of Fuqing and a member of the overseas Chinese community, to contribute to supporting education. Due to the pandemic, Chen Xi, who is currently in Japan, entrusted staff from the Fuqing Committee of the China Zhi Gong Party to assist in handling the donation。

"Principal Zhuang Guigan is a descendant of Indonesian overseas Chinese," said Zheng Songbo."Through the introduction of Chen Xinggui, Chairman of the Overseas Chinese Federation of Honglu Subdistrict in Fuqing, we learned about Principal Zhuang Guigan's deeds. As the Zhi Gong Party is known as the 'Party of Overseas Chinese,' we share a connection as members of the overseas Chinese community." Zheng added, "In the future, the External Relations Department of the Fuqing Committee of the Zhi Gong Party will widely promote the exemplary deeds of individuals like Liao Junbo and Zhuang Guigan within the overseas Chinese community, mobilizing more support from overseas Chinese for educational assistance in impoverished areas of Fujian."

In recent years, the Fuqing Committee of the Zhi Gong Party has leveraged its influence as the 'Party of Overseas Chinese' to actively channel the contributions of the overseas Chinese community.Through this approach, the philanthropic activities of the overseas Chinese community have been better utilized and amplified。
