Professor Wang Chao from the National Development Research Institute of Peking University, and Guangpu, the president of Fujian Shancai Charity Research Institute, led guests to discuss one challenging issue after another step by step.

Professor Wang Chao said that charity should not only be a means of family inheritance, but also its purpose, and both should promote each other. In his view, family inheritance is like social sustainable development, facing complex challenges, with reflexivity and generativity. Everyone is both a source of challenges and a solution, and there is no one size fits all solution.

"Love is instinct, love is ability, inheritance is instinct, and inheritance is technology. Inheritance should not be limited to the material level, but should include the transmission of symbols and the spiritual world," said President Guangpu.

"Whether it is good or home, it is particularly valuable to society." Feng Ping, professor of philosophy department of Fudan University, believes that with the rapid transformation from agricultural civilization to modern civilization, we are facing the challenge of redefining and inheriting "good". As the key unit in the intersection of tradition and modernity, we cannot simply rebuild the family concept of modern society on the basis of the old tradition, but need to re nurture and build on the soil of modern civilization.

Huang Jiandong, founder of OD together and long-term external organization and talent development consultant of Alibaba Group, said that the key to family sustainability is warm interpersonal interaction, that is, children can communicate with people in a friendly and humanistic way. Such interaction marks the sustainable development of families.

Chen Youwei, the son of Chen Jingrun and chairman of the Chen Jingrun Science Foundation, shared his views on inheritance and his mental journey. At first, the expectation of "inheriting his father's work" made him feel pressure in the field of mathematics, but his father and senior scientists' enthusiasm for exploration and perseverance has always influenced him.

Under the influence of this spirit, Mr. Chen Youwei initiated the establishment of the Chen Jingrun Science Foundation, passed on the spirit of his father and his ancestors in the form of charity, helped the national basic science education, and supported more people to explore science and pursue truth.

"The family is a microcosm of society. It has not created a warm and loving family atmosphere and is not qualified to talk about social charity." Jin Xue, the author of Wake up Love, believes that although social charity is important, it lies in the family itself - as a miniature model of society, only when the family is full of love and warmth, can there be a basis to talk about external charity.

This round table co creation meeting was sponsored by Fujian Shancai Charity Research Institute, funded by the Fujian Tongxin Charity Foundation Shancai Family Office Fund, and provided academic support by the Social Action and Innovation Laboratory of the National Development Institute of Peking University, to explore how charity plays a role in family inheritance, how to build a common vision of the family, and how to make good work last forever Home sustainability provides more possibilities and clearer goals, and also provides suggestions and plans for the future development direction of public welfare undertakings.
