 Growing up in a family that gives great concern to public service, Mr Chan actively devotes his time and energy in promoting better healthcare, education, elderly care and public welfare for all. He believes that sharing is the best way of caring and is the foundation of a community that pursues a common destiny for good. Under his leadership, the Hong Kong Scholarship for "Belt and Road" Students was jointly set up by King Wai Group and the government of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region, which allows young people from overseas to get to know China and experience the rapid development and achievements of the country first-hand, and spread Chinese culture around the world. While steering his company forward amidst stiff competition in the business world, he also finds time to commit to various public roles that contribute to national development and social progress, driven by the wisdom and strength of his family heritage.


With “Heritage – Innovation - Sharing” as his motto, while continually acknowledging his appreciation and gratitude for the opportunities and blessings that have been bestowed upon him, Mr Chan is continually striving to push the boundaries of innovation and implement creative initiatives for the family business, while selflessly sharing his family heritage and wisdom for the benefit of the greater good.
