red net time news september 3rd(reporter dai linfei, correspondent sun liangcai) "hold yourself to the standards of a soldier and never fade away after retirement; love what you do and don't fear hardship or fatigue." this is the belief that chen wei often says, and it is also the most true portrayal of his life journey.
in 1992, chen wei, who was only 18 years old, walked out of the mountains of sichuan with an infinite yearning for the military camp and became a member of the shaoyang branch of the hunan armed police corps. three years of military career not only tempered his strong physique, but also forged his tenacious will and courageous spirit. this valuable experience, like a beacon, illuminated his life path after retirement.
after retiring, chen wei faced a major life decision. he stayed in shaoyang with only 1,200 yuan, vowing to make a name for himself here. from driving a second-hand motorcycle to carry passengers, to driving a truck to transport heavy objects, to working as a loader by the river, chen wei experienced countless days and nights of hardship and effort. "one winter night at 10 o'clock, i drove a motorcycle from shaoyang to gaosha, dongkou. the wind blew on my face like a knife, and my frozen hands couldn't be warmed up even if i breathed hard. i still remember the 100-kilometer distance vividly." chen wei recalled.
in 2005, chen wei, with his keen insight into the market, founded the first urban car club in shaoyang with his friends. although he encountered many challenges in the early stage, he gradually won the trust and support of customers with his honest management and high-quality services. half a month later, the successful transaction of the first business injected a strong impetus into his entrepreneurial journey. after that, his used car business flourished and became a leader in the industry.
however, chen wei did not choose to rest on his laurels. as competition in the used car market intensified, he was keenly aware of the need to find a new direction for development. so he set his sights on the construction industry in shaoyang, which had yet to be explored in depth. although he knew nothing about this industry, he stepped into this new field with the courage of a soldier, and transformed from a leader in the used car industry to a beginner in the construction industry. "once you have your sights set, just do it. if you have no experience, then i will start as a laborer, moving bricks and laying walls; if you have no skills and cannot paint walls, then i will go to jiangmen, guangdong to learn." chen wei said, "i always believe that progress can only be made through constant learning."
in 2020, chen wei's career once again ushered in a new leap. he established hunan haonan construction decoration engineering co., ltd. and served as the legal representative, officially starting his entrepreneurial journey in the construction industry. at the same time, his children also followed in his footsteps, enlisted in the army, and became a glorious soldier. "send the children to the army, to hone, to grow, and become a useful talent for society and the country." for chen wei, this is not only a continuation of the family tradition, but also the best inheritance of the belief of "not forgetting the original intention and keeping the mission in mind."
in 2024, it is the 32nd year that chen wei has come to shaoyang. on the road of entrepreneurship, he has forged ahead and written a new chapter with unremitting efforts; in life, he has spread positive energy and inspired people around him to keep moving forward. as the president of the shaoyang sichuan and chongqing hometown association, chen wei not only pays attention to the development of his own company, but also extends this care and responsibility to a broader field. he said that in shaoyang, there are many retired soldiers and fellow villagers who have come from sichuan and chongqing like him, and they are also struggling for life and fighting for their dreams.
the annual sichuan and chongqing hometown association is not only a time for everyone to gather together and reminisce about their hometown, but also an important opportunity for mutual assistance, cooperation and common development. on this platform, everyone shares their entrepreneurial experiences and insights, learns from each other and makes progress together. at the same time, the association also actively provides donations, legal aid and other support to members in need, so that every sichuan and chongqing person in shaoyang can feel the warmth and strength of home.
at present, chen wei is actively preparing for the establishment of the chamber of commerce. he expressed confidence that the chamber of commerce will become a new engine to boost the economy and contribute strength. as a retired soldier, he will lead everyone to give full play to their own advantages, take on responsibilities, dare to innovate, and contribute the wisdom and strength of retired soldiers to the prosperity and development of shaoyang.
