Saigon is one of the three largest rice markets in the world and is the distribution center for the output of Mekong Delta rice. Also because people from many countries come to Saigon to buy rice, the "Heshunfa" shipping business is booming.

Zhang Fengyu, who came from Australia to attend the wedding, was obsessed with the hometown that gave birth to himself and his ancestors, and decided to stay and help his niece and son-in-law start a business. Wanshengfa Group is already one of the best real estate developers in Ho Chi Minh City, and Zhang Fengyu's efforts have also made an indelible contribution.

Zhang Meilan and her family are usually enthusiastic about social charity and charity, and often sponsor Chinese associations, fellow townspeople, temples and ancestral halls, and schools.
