Wang Rensheng returned to his hometown Sundu Village to send warmth
Wang Rensheng, born in 1935, his ancestral home is Sundu Village, Cangtou Town, Xin'an County, Henan Province. In his hometown, Sundu Village, there are also old houses such as Zhibaotang, Gubentang, Wendetang, and Xinyitang. Among them, Zhibaotang is Wang Rensheng's ancestral home.
Zhibaotang was built by the brothers Wang Weidong and Wang Weizhong. Wang Rensheng is the son of Wang Weizhong. In the early years, Wang Weidong and Wang Weizhong Kunzhong followed Mr. Sun Yat-sen to participate in the revolution, and later they were highly praised by Zhang Jin, a well-known figure in Xin'an .
In 1949, Wang Rensheng, who was only 14 years old, went to Taiwan as an "exiled student" and then he had no news with his family. It was not until 1987 that Wang Rensheng met his old mother who had been away for 39 years in Hong Kong. After 1989, Wang Rensheng took advantage of the opportunity of opening up the cross-strait visits to his relatives and returned to his dream hometown in Henan again, and started his entrepreneurial journey of investing in his hometown in Henan.
"Returning back to the neighbors, the contribution lies in the hometown." Wang Rensheng gave New Year gifts to residents of Sundu Village, which has been uninterrupted for more than 30 consecutive years. Now this kind of activity has become a special "folk custom" in the village. By the way, the movie " Love and Blind Dating " directed by Zhang Aijia took the outdoor scene in the beautiful and ancient Sundu Village.
In Sundu, the legendary stories of Wang Rensheng's uncle Wang Weidong and his father Wang Weizhong are still circulated. It is reported that the Wang family of Zhibaotang made their fortune during the Guangxu period of the Qing Dynasty. They relied on growing crops, grinding tofu, selling wine, and later buying land to make a fortune. They were landlords in the village. Then, Wang Weidong and Wang Weizhong Kunzhong's generations were already famous local gentry.

Later, Wang Rensheng did not return to his teaching position. He rented a 200-square-meter factory and founded the OEM for Christmas lights, and later established Dongyu Group.
In 1990, his mother died of illness in her hometown in Henan. Wang Rensheng, who returned to Henan from Taiwan to attend the funeral, saw that many Henan villagers were still living in poverty, mainly because they lacked job opportunities; so he would move the factory to Henan. Henan is a major labor province with high labor cost advantages. Later, Dongyu Group quickly grew into the world's largest Christmas lights factory.
In the 1990s, the sensational Zhengzhou business war - the "Central Plains War", attracted Wang Rensheng. He also devoted himself to the surging business war and founded Dennis Department Store in 1997. Although he had no experience in store operations, Wang Rensheng and his children continued to improve their business methods, step by step. Dennis also continued to expand from the first store on Renmin Road, Zhengzhou to various parts of Henan, becoming one of the giants in Henan's commercial retail industry.
