Chief Class Monitor of Project Wingspan

As the 16-year-old chief monitor of the Project Wingspan, I am the youngest and least experienced participant here. It is an immense honor to learn and exchange ideas with so many distinguished seniors. Through the Zilin Family Office platform, I have had the privilege of meeting many like-minded friends and mentors.

This period marks a significant milestone in my life. Over the past two days, we visited numerous outstanding enterprises and encountered exceptional talents and companies that are driving societal progress to new heights—true pillars of our community. In this era where “all roads lead to Rome,” I am profoundly grateful to have met those who have already reached “Rome” and to learn from their wisdom. This experience has been extraordinarily meaningful, enriching me beyond measure.

These three days were not just about learning from others but also an opportunity for introspection. As a young entrepreneur, I’ve come to realize that age and inexperience are not limitations but rather opportunities to bring fresh perspectives and energy. My conversations with industry leaders have strengthened my resolve to pursue higher goals. They’ve shown me that success is not merely personal achievement but contributing to the greater good and uplifting others along the way.

Among the companies we visited, Prenetics left the deepest impression—a biotech pioneer revolutionizing sustainable technology. Witnessing how innovation addresses global challenges like climate change has reinforced my determination to integrate social impact into my work in finance and investment. As I depart, I carry with me a renewed sense of purpose and a clearer vision: to leverage my skills for positive societal change.

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

My heartfelt thanks to the Zilin Family Office for this unforgettable experience and for the opportunity and encouragement you’ve provided. In just three days, you’ve gifted me boundless wisdom and knowledge. I look forward to continuing this journey of growth, learning, and collaboration with all of you. Together, we can build a brighter future for generations to come.
