Someone asked Wang Shi, chairman of Shenzhen Vanke Group: Who is your most respected entrepreneur? Wang Shi pondered for a moment and said a person's name.
Not the world's giants Buffett or Bill. Gates or Li Ka-shing are not some successful person in the real estate industry, but an old man, a person who has fallen and has fallen miserably.

His name is Chu Shijian.
In 1928, Chu Shijian was born in a rural family in Yuxi City.
At the age of 31, he was labeled as a rightist and took his wife and only daughter to the farm to participate in labor reform.

After the end of the Cultural Revolution, Chu Shijian took over the Yuxi Cigarette Factory in 1979 and became the director.
He was 51 years old that year! Taken up this important task.

Chu Shijian's struggle story has just begun at the age of 51.
After 18 years of hard work, Yuxi Cigarette Factory, which was on the verge of bankruptcy, was later a well-known cigarette factory in Asia. It is a famous brand in China: Hongtashan Group.

Chu Shijian also became the tobacco king in China. It has become the pillar of local finance, and has generated a total of 99.1 billion tax revenue for the country in 18 years.
In 1999, he was sentenced to life imprisonment (later re-sented to 17 years in prison), and that year Chu Shijian was 71 years old.
Three years later, Chu Shijian fainted several times in prison due to severe diabetes and was later released on medical parole. After several months of conditioning, Chu Shijian went to Ailao Mountain to farm, and later he contracted 2,400 acres of wasteland to grow oranges. He was 74 years old that year.

He was released on parole in 2004; the sentence was later reduced to 17 years in prison, and in 2008, the sentence was reduced to 12 years in prison. It was eventually reduced to 12 years and was released from prison in 2011.
In November 2012, the "Chu Orange" grown by 85-year-old Chu Shijian started selling through e-commerce. Chu Orange is of excellent quality and is often sold out. Chu Shijian became the "Orange King of China".

In 2012, Chu Shijian was elected honorary chairman of the Yunnan Provincial Ethnic Chamber of Commerce.
Wang Shi said: The famous shock of life lies on the Ailao Mountain! He is 75-year-old Chu Shijian, wearing a torn round neck shirt, big sunglasses, and a straw hat, and talking enthusiastically about the orange fruits 6 years later.
