Wahaha, it can be said to be a memory of many people born in the 1980s and 1990s. Many netizens commented, "Wahaha really drank from childhood to adulthood, accompanying us to grow up together, full of memories." "Drinking Wahaha grew up, and using Wahaha's water for experiments..."

    On February 25th, the official obituary of Wahaha Group was released: Comrade Zong Qinghou, founder and chairman of Wahaha Group, passed away at 10:30 am on February 25th, 2024 due to ineffective medical treatment, at the age of 79. He started his own business at the age of 42 and became China's richest person three times, praised as a business model. He is not only a business legend after the reform and opening up, but also made significant contributions to society. His passing is touching.

At 9:00 am on February 28th, despite the continuous rain and rain, all employees of Joysland Doors and Windows (Shanghai) Co., Ltd. still gathered in the A workshop of the company to hold a solemn memorial ceremony for Zong Qinghou, the founder and chairman of Wahaha Group. The employees present mourned this outstanding entrepreneur with deep sorrow and deeply remembered his tremendous contributions to Wahaha Group and the entire society.

   Before the ceremony began, Mr. Peng Peilun, Chairman of Joysland Doors and Windows (Shanghai) Co., Ltd., delivered a touching speech. He reviewed Mr. Zong Qinghou's life story and stated that Mr. Zong was a practical worker, a fighter, and a benchmark for Zhejiang merchants. Praising his firm beliefs, outstanding leadership skills, and innovative spirit is a lifelong example for us to learn from. These qualities not only have won tremendous success for Wahaha Group, but also inspire every employee present to constantly strive for excellence in their work.

    Subsequently, all employees observed a three minute silence, expressing their endless condolences to Mr. Zong Qinghou. At this solemn moment, the sound of machines in the workshop temporarily ceased, except for the sound of raindrops gently tapping on the window, as if the heavens were also crying for the passing of this great entrepreneur.

  After the silence, all the staff, with a heavy heart, presented small yellow flowers to Mr. Zong Qinghou. These small yellow flowers, like the spirit of Mr. Zong Qinghou, are pure and resilient, carrying endless sorrow and admiration from everyone.

   Now, although Mr. Zong Qinghou has passed away, his spirit and achievements will always be remembered in our hearts. His passing was a huge loss for the business community, but his life story and business legend will continue to inspire us to move forward. Joysland Doors and Windows will also bear in mind their mission and pass on their spirit and achievements.
