Godson of Li Ka-shing

There always seem to be endless interesting topics, but Wang Fuxin, the eldest daughter-in-law sitting opposite, is not. She said nothing and concentrated on eating. No matter how busy they are at work, every Monday, their family will have a reunion dinner at Shenshuiwan's house or grandma's house.

If he can help the unfortunate people in education and medical care during his lifetime, he will feel richer. " Li Ka-shing said, "I made a lot of money at 1957 and 1958. I had a good time in those two years. " A year later, happiness brought confusion. He thought: with money, can life be very happy? After careful consideration, he finally figured it out. "When you make money, when you have the opportunity, you must use it. It makes sense to make money.

With his two sons, he accepted and understood the ups and downs of the world from the people around him and tasted how to be a man.
