Li Ka-shing is the idol of hundreds of millions of people. So, who is Li Ka-shing's idol?
His answer is: father Li Yunjing.
Li Ka-shing said: "My father is a very typical China person, honest, loyal and sincere."
1943, Li Yunjing finally fell ill because of long-term fatigue, poverty and anxiety. Li Yunjing suffers from lung disease. Lung disease was an "incurable disease" at that time. Being infected with this disease is equivalent to being sentenced to death. He had a premonition that he would die soon and pinned all his hopes on his son. In order to maintain his son's tuition, he insisted on not being hospitalized; The doctor made a prescription, but didn't go to the drugstore to buy medicine. Li Ka-shing's uncle, Zhuang Jing 'an, knew this situation and "forcibly" sent him to the hospital. After Li Yunjing was admitted to the hospital, he secretly saved the money for medicine and prepared to pay tuition for his only son. Li Ka-shing always had tears in his eyes when he recalled this past.
After his father died of illness, Xiao Jiacheng borrowed money from his mother and finally got enough money to buy a cemetery for his father.
According to the rules at that time, people who bought graves had to pay to see the land. It was two Hakka brothers who sold the land to the Li family. They boasted to Xiao Jiacheng how good this land of geomantic omen is. If our ancestors are buried here, future generations will be prosperous.
Xiao Jiacheng hopes to develop, but he doesn't believe that such a small amount of money can buy a treasure trove of geomantic omen. He thought that as long as his father had a place to rest, he and his mother would be at ease. After giving the money to the land sellers, he followed them to see the land. On this day, it happened that the cold current went south, the temperature plummeted, it was raining again, the mountain road was muddy, and Xiao Jiacheng, who was wearing a thin coat, was shivering with cold. When two Hakkas saw that he was a child, they deliberately lied to him. They walked very fast, trying to get rid of Li Ka-shing. But Xiao Jiacheng never left and followed them closely.
When walking to a deserted grave in a ravine, the younger brother who walked in front said to his brother in Hakka: "Brother, here we are!" " "
The man named "Brother" said, "Here? Can't you see there is already a grave here? " "Never mind, dig, just get the bones away. A child, I dare not refuse to receive the goods. "
Their conversation was heard by Li Ka-shing, who knows a little Hakka. Small cazenove thought, there are such "dirty" people in the world, for such a little money, even the dead will not let go. He thought that his father's life was aboveboard and that he would never do anything. Even if he is buried here, he will not rest in peace.
Small cazenove analysis, these two people are too "dirty", want to return the money, it is absolutely impossible, if entangled with them, according to their statement is possible.
So, when the two brothers waved hoes to dig the grave, Li Ka-shing said, "Stop digging, I heard everything you said. Forget it, that money is just for you! I will find another seller. " Say that finish, also don't look back to rush down the hill.
The difficulty of buying land to bury his father taught Li Ka-shing the first lesson in life. He told himself that no matter how difficult the future is, he must not harm others. With such a life creed, Li Ka-shing has finally become the richest man in Asia. (? World manager)
That is to say, to be honest.
