Max's founder Wu Zhande passed away. His original intention to start a business can be said to be the patriotic behavior of a patriotic person. Wu Zhande was born in 1921 and graduated from Guangzhou Lingnan University in 1947. In 1956, he and his brother Wu Shunde started his own business. The original intention of Wu Zhande and his brother Wu Shunde to start a business was because when he and his brother often dined at the famous New Paris French Restaurant in Hong Kong, the restaurant owner was discriminatory towards them, believing that Chinese people did not have the spending power of foreigners and placed them in a corner. This made them determined to open a high-end Western restaurant run by Chinese people to prove that Chinese people can also make Western restaurants very good.

After that, they opened Maxim’s Restaurant, and introduced traditional Chinese delicacies in the restaurant, such as rice cakes, rice dumplings, sausages and Maxim’s mooncakes, etc., which were widely welcomed by Hong Kong citizens and also became gifts. Excellent products from all over the world. Three generations of the Wu family have strong patriotism. Wu Zhande's daughter is Wu Shuqing, the eldest daughter of the Maxim family. He inherited his father's spirit of daring and fighting since he was a child. In the early days of reform and opening up, I came to mainland China alone with my father to start a business. It is precisely because a group of patriotic entrepreneurs took risks regardless of difficulties and obstacles. Help China introduce advanced equipment technology and management experience in the world at that time.

And when the riots led by external organizations broke out in Hong Kong last year, we bravely stood up and accused the saboteurs who caused the riots. It firmly stood on the side of the motherland and fought with the people of the motherland against the saboteurs. It was precisely because of its firm stance that it also attracted threats from the saboteurs. However, she did not change her position. She still held high her patriotism, was not afraid of danger, and dared to take on responsibilities. I saw the responsible behavior of a national entrepreneur.

So the original intention of Maxim’s founder Wu Zhande to start his business is also the history of the struggle of a group of patriotic entrepreneurs to make Chinese people stand upright in front of foreigners and not discriminate against foreigners. It is precisely because of their firm determination Patriotism has inspired more people to feel patriotic.
