Chu Shijian: From the 'Cigarette King' to the 'Orange King', the legendary and remarkable life of Chu Shijian. Chu Shijian, former chairman of Hongta Group and once renowned as the 'Asian Cigarette King', is one of the most controversial figures in China's business world. With strategic vision, he strengthened resource advantages and seized industry opportunities, transforming the unknown Yuxi Cigarette Factory into a large-scale multinational enterprise, Red Tower Group, ranking fifth in the world and first in Asia, with accumulated tax profits of 10 billion yuan. It became a pillar of local finance and the largest taxpayer in the country. In 2000, Chu Shijian was sentenced to life imprisonment and lifetime deprivation of political rights due to economic issues. In 2002, at the age of 72, he received a commutation of sentence and was allowed to receive medical treatment outside prison. He started cultivating oranges with his wife on barren land. After more than a decade, Chu's oranges produced over 1000 tons, generating profits over 10 million yuan, earning the reputation of 'Yunnan's tastiest oranges' and 'China's most inspirational oranges'. Today, at the age of 90, Chu Shijian, transitioning from the 'Cigarette King' to the 'Orange King', embarks on another peak in his life. His story and entrepreneurial spirit deeply influence China's business community and countless young individuals who strive for a better tomorrow. Recommended by Wang Shi, Feng Lun, Wang Jianlin, Gong Shuguo, Han Han, and others. 'I have tasted his oranges. Starting a business at such an old age and doing so well serves as a great inspiration for us.' - Wang Jianlin. 'It is not difficult for a person to fall and get up. What is difficult is to fall from the highest point to the lowest point and still be able to go far. This is something that ordinary people cannot achieve. It seems that there is a kind of 'super energy' in Chu Shijian, which comes from his high standards and strict requirements in life and work. It is precisely this super power that enables him to stand higher and go further.' - Feng Lun. 'A true hero always rises in unimaginable difficulties and at incredible moments! Because of these few oranges, Chu Shijian distances himself from all outstanding entrepreneurs of this era, making himself not only an invincible business legend but also an immortal inspirational hero!' - Gong Shuguo. 'I admire everyone who can stand up after falling, especially those who are pushed down by others instead of falling on their own.' - Han Han.
