Youth out of the hometown for young people. Lihuo Liyuanzhi
A fire can destroy everything; a fire can also create everything.
In 1995, Chen Weng, 17 years old, went to work in Xiamen Jiuzhou Group. Although Xiamen and Quanzhou seem to be neighboring, after all, they are nearly 100 kilometers apart, Chen Weng looked further away at this time. The next year, Chen Wen's second brother went to the Philippines thousands of miles away and defected to his grandfather who made a living, hoping to make a living in the Philippines. This has touched Chen Wen's heart that had long been "restless". The honest and complacent Chen parents only hope that the Chen Wen brothers can work a job and support themselves. Chen Weng doesn’t want to live according to his parents’ “routine requirements”, he wants to go out of his own way!
15th day of the first lunar month in 2000, the "fire trees and silver flowers" all over the sky during the Lantern Festival became a fireworks for Chen Wenzhuang to make his debut. He brought the 10,000 US dollars he had saved from his family over the years and crossed the sea to find his second brother. With his hard-working nature, Chen Weng quickly became familiar with the customs and language habits of the Philippines, and rented a store with his second brother to wholesale slippers. Just as I was looking forward to a good life, a disaster suddenly broke through the sky.
That day, the mall where the store was located encountered an unknown fire out of thin air, and fireworks spread rapidly, and the bills in the store might be burned by the fire. After a while, Chen Weng suddenly remembered that the back wall of the store was connected to the wall of the shopping mall, and there was another shopping mall under construction next to it. So with the help of fellow villagers, the two brothers found a large iron bar from the construction site and desperately "teared" a "hole" that can allow one person to enter and exit from the wall! Chen Weng completely forgot about the danger, grabbed a few water-dip towels in his hands, covered his face, and rushed into the sea of fire. With memory, under the squeezing of thick smoke and fire, I strode and "snatch" the bills and some goods. In order not to be choked to death in the thick smoke, he tried his best to cover his face with the towel again and rushed back to the hole. The mall burned by the fire immediately turned into ashes behind him.
This fire in the new millennium will make him never forget it. In the thick smoke of a foreign country, the young Chen Weng was like a phoenix's nirvana, burned black all over by smoke. There were only two eyes of Huo Liang who were unyielding to life, bursting out a sparkling light in the black smoke. The fire made him become a golden eye and forged his resolute and high-spirited fighting spirit in life.
The business world is in a surprise, and the ambitions are rewarded
There is no time to sigh and be sad. Chen Weng and his second brother quickly found another store to continue their business. To save money, they rented small rooms as living rooms in a city deviated from the city. The climate of Coconut Island is humid and hot, but they are reluctant to buy a necessary electric fan. They have to get up early and go to work in the city in the dark every day.
One point persistence, one point score. Chen Weng began to sell shoes to local merchants, and he was busy every day, and even the workers were reluctant to hire them. Gradually, he gained credibility and customers, and accumulated capital and experience.
If you want to be really outstanding, you must have characteristics. Chen Weng, who is good at thinking, decided to adjust his operation direction and no longer wholesale shoes to local Filipinos, but import various shoes from Jinjiang, Zhejiang and other places to be sold in the Philippines. Later, the practice of selling men's shoes, women's shoes and children's shoes was changed, and focused on the children's shoes business.
In 2007, Chen Weng applied to the Philippine government to register the SPEED shoe trading company. In order to avoid duplicating the name, it was finally designated as "C-SPEED".The company's logo is a state where people are running forward, "SPEED" is "speed", and "C" is the first letter starting with the pinyin of the character "Chen". "Only with speed can you have passion and development. Speed is efficiency, it is the driving force of people and the vitality of the company!" Whenever someone asks about the origin of the company's name, Chen Wenhua always says with a smile.

Chen Wenwang has his own in-depth observation and unique analysis of the market. A new upper will often be copied by others after ten days of the market. Instead of building assembly lines for production, it is better to spend money, focus on market research and development, and rely on professional cooperative manufacturers. By doing this, new products will be available at any time, and you can seize the initiative and move forward and retreat freely, refreshing the brand effect. Chen Weng sets the sales direction as children's shoes, there are a wide range of shoes needed from infants and young children to seven or eight years old. He also deliberately "dipped" a pair of despicable shoes into each batch of goods he sent, so that customers can "delive them to their door" to exchange them. He said this will give you more opportunities to contact customers. Chen Wen’s enthusiastic and thoughtful after-sales service and recommended new products that are time-consuming often impressed customers. A new business is often completed before the exchange is over. Business feelings have been cultivated, and the customer base has not only been fixed and strengthened, but the company's brand status has become more stable. Now, many large companies, shopping malls and provinces in the Philippines have children's shoes operated by him.
In 2018, the Philippines Manila real estate emerged. Chen Weng, who had a keen eye, immediately targeted the real estate industry and jointly established the Baba real estate development company with his friends. In a prime location where Chinese people gather, adjacent to the airport, SM shopping mall, and bustling commercial area, they are preparing to build villas, office buildings and warehouses to create a beautiful commercial and residential environment, and to climb the peak of starting a business again.

Promote goodness without being far and far, and unite the people
"After the 5.12 earthquake in Wenchuan, Sichuan, Mr. Chen Wenwen actively contributed love and donated money and materials to his compatriots in the disaster area, which deeply reflects the blood-soluble flesh and blood-soluble compatriots in the Philippines..." This is a letter of thanks written by Song Tao, Minister of the Foreign Liaison Department of the CPC Central Committee and then Ambassador of the People's Republic of China to the Philippines, written to Chen Wenwen in October 2008.
In May 2009, under the arduous efforts and outstanding leadership of Chen Weng and others, the Fifth Branch of the China Hongmen Zhigong Party of the Philippines (hereinafter referred to as the Fifth Branch) was established in Pase, Manila, Philippines. Chen Weng won the first to the fourth chairman and is currently honorary chairman and decision-making member. On July 1, 2017, the stone secting chronicle of Quanshang (Zhigong) Middle School in Ninghua County, Fujian. The front of the stele was "Zhigong Road", and the back recorded the relevant situation of the fifth branch participating in the construction of public welfare projects in the country of ancestral home.

February 9 and 12, 2020, the Communist Party of China Jinjiang City 7th Committee and the Jinjiang Municipal People's Government successively wrote letters to Chen Wenwen, the fifth branch and branch's eternal honorary chairman, to "donate generously and donated a batch of urgently needed medical supplies for the prevention and control of the epidemic at the first time to assist in the epidemic prevention and control work in my hometown", and expressed my sincere gratitude and high respect for their "noble sentiment and innocent feelings". On March 17, the Yonghe Town Government of Jinjiang City and the Federation of Overseas Chinese wrote a letter to thank Chen Wen for his high love for purchasing 8,000 masks. Three months later, Jinjiang Experimental Primary School awarded Chen Wenhua a "Thank you" for the same kind behavior. Chen Weng is also the director of the Hanlin Spring Property Committee of Yongfuli Community, Jinjiang. He went through a lot of trouble to purchase 1,950 N95 medical masks , and distributed them to 380 owners according to the standard of 5 per household...

A letter of thanks, plaques, stele and certificates, and were all "in the bottom of the box" by Chen Weng. At the author's request, Chen Wenhua searched them out from different "corners". He forgot many of the good deeds he had done, and what he talked about the most was the figures of children who came to climb mountains and wade in the dark to study and walk on the mountain road.

It turned out that the fifth branch had returned to China at the end of 2009. When he arrived in Quanzhou, Chen Wenhua did not immerse himself in the family affection and enthusiasm of his hometown, but "smartly" "captured" the "task of doing good". He learned that the Central Primary School of Sukeng Town, Yongchun County is preparing to rebuild the school building to improve the school conditions, but it is unsustainable in terms of funding. Chen Wenbing remembered this "information" quietly. After returning to the Philippines, he immediately conducted extensive publicity within the China Democratic League. Under his strong advocacy, the fifth branch actively pledged and quickly received positive responses and strong support from other branches. At the end of August 2010, Sukeng Central Primary School was completed and put into use, and was named "Zhigong Primary School", becoming the first "Zhigong School" in Fujian Province. Due to geographical reasons, many students still have to cross mountains and hills when they go to school. Their diligent figures and the sincere gratitude of their fellow villagers have become Chen Wen's lingering memories. Afterwards, the "Zhi Highway" in Tieshan Town and the "Zhi Highway" in Quanshang Zhigong Middle School in Ninghua County, etc. are all masterpieces of the Zhigong Party members led by Chen Weng. They are going further and further on the road of charity...

Chen Weng is low-key but full of chivalrous feelings. Even if he is rich, it does not prevent him from expressing some topics of concern for people's livelihood. He is diligent and hardworking and cultivating diligence. He is eager to be righteous and loyal to the hero and loyalty. He is from Yonghe, so he is always on the road of "struggle" upstream and is working hard to write a good article in his life.
