General Secretary Xi Jinping proposed that “the great renaissanceof Chinese nation has been the greatest dream of Chinese nation since itsmodern times”. It is the essence of Chinese dream as well as the driving forceof self-motivation of Chinese nation to realize national prosperity, nationalrevival, people’s happiness and social harmony. Chinese Dream as a belief and agoal is full of expectation but also requires solid work. Chinese Dream must berealized by gathering Chinese Power, which is for good, for love, forparticipation and for action.
It was pointed out in the Report to the 18th National Congress ofthe Communist Party of China that “Perfect Social Assistance System &Support Development of Philanthropy”. Nature of public benefit is derived fromthat of Chinese Dream, and power of public benefit is an important part ofChinese Power. As the core and epitome of public good, public spirit is the patriotismof participation as required by the country and countrymen, is the spiritfavorable to people for benefiting from and contributing to the society, and isthe prevalence of reallocating social resources and realizing a well-offsociety; furthermore, public spirit, as the embodiment of love, kindness and consciousnessand as the specific action of enterprises and social organizations to fulfillsocial responsibilities, plays an important role in the realization of ChineseDream.
China Oceanwide Holdings Group is a private enterprise developedand expanded with reform and opening-up in China. It has gradually formed andconstantly adhered to the operation principle of “Three-Integration”- “integrationof social goal, corporate goal and individual goal, integration of socialresponsibility, corporate responsibility and individual responsibility, and integrationof social benefit, corporate benefit and individual benefit”, and the corevalue of “benefiting from society and contributing for society” in 29 years. Thishas laid a basis of ideology and culture and also served as a continual innermotivation for us to fulfill social responsibility and accomplish charityundertakings and also gathered the sincere heart of Oceanwide people.
In 2010, we established Oceanwide Foundation managed by the UnitedFront Work Department of CPC Central Committee and registered in Ministry ofCivil Affairs of the People’s Republic of China with contribution of RMB 0.2billion, which offers a mechanism guarantee and lays organizational foundationfor promotion of sustainable, systematic and strategic development of Oceanwidepublic good in a professional and normative operation mode.

The public good we have been engaged in has received numerous honorsand praises from the government and society.
