If we have the conditions and ability, we will help other grassroots people. Of course, if we have money, we will pay. If we don’t have money, we may hope to be able to take care of it mentally.

Education is concrete, I will do it more carefully. , a macro point. In fact, can I do some school training? Various activities, some team work, some teaching, and even if my team is qualified and capable, I can send them to compete in Europe. These are all I really want to do it myself, for example, support some capable friends, or they may not be friends of the Hong Kong team, to compete in Europe, this is what I want to do.”
He also revealed that he would cooperate with schools in the hope of further popularizing cycling: “Because cycling is relatively popular in Hong Kong, apart from the business perspective, I would like to see people running marathons, cycling, and playing sports on weekends.

If the children have good grades, we will fully cooperate with them if they need it. If the Hong Kong team needs anything, we will support it.”
