My Growth Journey as Chief Captain of the Project Wingspan

As the 16-year-old chief monitor of the Project Wingspan, I was the youngest and least experienced participant among all the attendees. It was an immense honor to learn and exchange ideas with so many esteemed seniors. Through the Zilin Family Office platform, I connected with many like-minded peers and mentors.

This period marked a significant milestone in my life. Over these two days, we visited numerous outstanding enterprises and encountered exceptional talents and companies that are driving societal progress to new heights—they are truly the pillars of our society. In this era where “all roads lead to Rome,” I feel incredibly fortunate to have met those who have already reached “Rome” and learned from them. This experience has been profoundly meaningful, enriching me with invaluable insights and growth.

These three days were not just about learning from others but also an opportunity for self-reflection. As a young entrepreneur, I realized that age and experience are not barriers but opportunities to bring fresh perspectives and energy. Conversations with these industry leaders strengthened my resolve to pursue higher goals. They taught me that success is not merely personal achievement but contributing to greater societal well-being and uplifting others along the way.

What impressed me most was visiting Prenetics, a biotech company revolutionizing sustainable technology. Witnessing how innovation tackles global challenges like climate change deepened my determination to pursue social impact through finance and investment. As I left, I carried a renewed sense of mission and a clearer vision for leveraging my skills to drive positive change.

I am deeply grateful to everyone who shared their stories, insights, and advice during these days. Your generosity and willingness to mentor young individuals like me have left an indelible mark on my heart. I pledge to pay forward the lessons I’ve learned and support others on their journeys, just as you’ve supported me.

Once again, thank you to the Zilin Family Office for this unforgettable experience and for the opportunity and support you’ve provided. In just three days, you’ve endowed me with boundless wisdom and knowledge. I look forward to continuing this journey of growth, learning, and collaboration with all of you. Together, we can strive to create a brighter future for the next generation.
