An Explication on My Professional
Career and Accomplishments
Zhang Hongbao
Editor’s Words:
In early June 2001, State University of Pennsylvania in the United States
invited Mr. Hongbao Zhang to work as professor in this university. In the
contact with each other, the university got to know Mr. Hongbao Zhang much more.
They discussed further if Mr. Hongbao Zhang can come to Pennsylvania for
assisting to establish a college of management and be the dean of this college.
The self-introduction of Professional Accomplishments below was drawn up by Mr.
Hongbao Zhang on invitation at that time.
Two years later, Mr. Zhang turned his attention to the research of politics and
international relations, and the research of finance and investment. He taught
himself in subjects of “The world Economics and Politics in Present Age”,
“Compare Chinese Political System with Western System in the Present Age”,
“American Government and American Politics”. His latest achievement is to put
forward “Theory of Re-combination of Nations”. About finance and investment, Mr.
Hongbao Zhang also taught himself in “Business Affairs of Finance in the United
States”, “Investment by Collective Fund”. He merely tried to put what he has
learned in practice and in a short time, he gained great achievements, which
made people including professionals looking him with new eyes.
From kindergarten,
through elementary school and high school, up to on-the-job training and then
college, what I received was basically a regular modern education.
In 1974, I completed my training in agriculture at the Academy of Agricultural
Science of Heilongjiang Province.
Professional Accomplishments: I was in charge of the Scientific Research Office
of a branch state farm, a major cadre of the Department of Science of
Technology, and a member of Science and Technology Committee of the farm
headquarters. For my good performance both in specific scientific research
programs and in science and technology management, I was selected, as one of ten
major pacemakers in technological applications in the Management Bureau of
Jiusan Farm of Heilongjiang Province, to attend the First Scientific Forum of
the farm headquarters.
In 1977, I was enrolled in Harbin Advanced Junior College of Metallurgical
Studies, majoring in ore dressing.
Professional Accomplishments: I participated in successfully locating a cinnabar
mine for the Heihe Gold Mining Bureau and wrote a report on the procedure,
drawing much attention from the Metallurgy Bureau of Heilongjiang Province.
During my stay in Heilongjiang, I was enrolled in the Chinese program of Heihe
Regional College of Continuing Education.
At the same time, I also participated in the training of intermediate Japanese.
In 1983, during the period when I served as the deputy captain of the gold
dredger of Juma Gold Mining Bureau and the period when I served as director of
the bureau’s enterprise reorganization office, I self studied the college
undergraduate textbooks of business management and Harvard Encyclopedia of
Management.
Afterwards, I was chosen as a third-tier member by China’s General Bureau of
Gold Mining and sent to Shenyang Gold Mining Univesity (used to be called
Shenyang Gold Mining College) to engage in guided preparations for college
entrance examinations. While studying there, I was also enrolled in the
management psychology program (or “behavioral science”) offered by the
Psychology Correspondence College of the Chinese Academy of Sciences.
Later, I passed the national college entrance examinations and was enrolled in
the economic management program offered by Beijing University of Science and
Technology. During this period, I was also enrolled in the program of legal
studies offered by Beijing University of Liberal Arts and Humanities.
Over the years, I also studied, on my own, part of the curricula of anatomy,
internal medicine, oncology, medical psychology, and clinical medicine; the
textbooks I studies were teaching materials used by Beijing Medical University.
I studied independently the subjects of leadership studies, administrative
management, studies on military strategies, and western political studies.
I studied independently youth psychology, geriatric psychology, educational
psychology, and commercial psychology.
I studied independently modern hotel administration (college curriculum), as
well as real estates development and management, banking, and public relations.
I studied independently journalism, photography, and esthetics.
I studied independently college administration and management, pedagogy, and
history of philosophy.
I studied independently a series of books on contemporary achievements on
science and technology.
In 1998, I completed my self-study on MBA curriculum prescribed by Harvard
University of USA.
Up till now, I also completed my study of the doctoral curriculum of public
administration (remote Chinese courses).
Besides being immersed in standard modern education in both science and culture,
over the past thirty some eyes, I also engaged in systematic studies of
traditional Chinese culture, especially cultivation studies, medicine and
philosophy (to be specified later), as well as comparative cultural studies and
comparative religious studies, particularly on areas where the modern
civilization and traditional cultures can interact with each other.
I initiated the Qilin Culture based on the foundation of integrating the best of
the West and Oriental civilizations, the best of the modern and the ancient
cultures. I created the life-cultivation enterprise.
In 1995, I completed the merger of all Zhonggong institutions and established
the Qilin Group, which consisted of five major systems and boasted more than one
hundred thousand employees.
The first system was life-cultivation technical training. The system extended
throughout China’s cities and rural areas, consisting of more than three
thousand schools and almost 10,000 teaching and servicing stations (chain
institution).
The second system was life-cultivation products and services. The center of this
system was Taiweike Corporation, with its subsidiaries throughout the country,
including almost every province, municipality, and county. This system was a
complement to the system of life-cultivation technical training; therefore,
every Zhonggong training school is accompanied by an office of Taiweike
Corporation. The second system has its own production facilities and product
sales network. The production facilities included three printing houses �
Weishui Printing Plant, Zhongnanshan Printing Plant, and Jinfoshan Printing
Plant; two mineral water manufacturers � Guangdong Changshou Villege Mineral
Water Factory and Shangan Jiulongquan Mineral Water Factory; two clothes
manufacturers; one factory of handicraft works, which produces 120 products of
various kinds; about ten of these products received state golden awards.
For my outstanding accomplishments in entrepreneurship, I was listed in
Outstanding Public Figures of Sichuan (because during its early phase,
Zhonggong’s major enterprises were largely located in Sichuan). The Qilin Group
I had created was listed in World Economic Almanac.
The third system is live-cultivation bases, including eight life-cultivation
service bases, each of which could accommodate a thousand people, and
twenty-three bases, which can each accommodate four hundred people. The services
include hotels, shopping centers, automobiles, restaurants, telecommunications,
security and other community services of every category, combining property
management such as real estates development with tourism.
The fourth system is scientific research. The International Academy of Life
Science was located in a large-scale base that had been purchased from Chengdu
Military Command. This institution included five housing complexes, occupying an
area of five kilometer in length, and facilitated the Academy itself, its
subsidiary hospital, the Human Physical Science Training School, a training
school for people with special physical capabilities, and a martial art training
school.
The fifth system offers standard education, including two universities, a junior
college and school that offers a series of curricula of elementary, middle
school and high school education.
Two Universities:
Chongqing International University of Life Science and Technology (abbreviated
as Chongqing Life Science University) was located at the old address of the
government of Nanan District of Chongqing Municipality, occupying a area of 800
acres, more than 100 buildings, a meeting hall that could accommodate 10,000
people and a stadium with 10,000 seats. The university was divided into three
branches: the headquarters was in Xian, the first branch was in Zhongnanshan,
the second branch was in Weishui, and the third branch was in Lantian. The
university had more than 20,000 students (including correspondence students),
and had eight departments: the Department of Foreign Languages, the Department
of Esthetics and Arts, the Department of Security, the Department of Martial
Arts, the Department of Special medicine, The Department of Education, and the
Department of Life-Cultivation Training.
The college is Jinfoshan Academy of Special Medicine.
The educational system was established to accommodate the cultural and
educational needs of the Qilin Group’s 100,000 employees and their more than
400,000 family members. The educational facilities provided a full range of
education institutions, from kindergartens, elementary schools, to middle
schools and high schools, from technical schools to continuing education
institutions.
I, as well as a dozen schools that I had created, was listed in A Dictionary of
Educational Facilities Established by China’s Social Organizations.
In the area of traditional culture:
During a period of over thirty years, I studied independently a portion of
traditional Chinese medicine, traditional Tibetan medicine, Qigong (a complete
college curriculum), Feishui studies, Zhouyi studies, strategies, studies of
Chinese emperors, military studies, martial arts studies, Buddhism, Taoism,
Confucius studies, Fa studies (Han Feizi), five-elements theory (Zhou Yan),
fortune studies, as well as Guiguzi theory; I also conducted researches on
Buddhism and Taoism as well as on Taoist, Buddhist and Christian music, rituals,
and architectural styles. Furthermore, I carried out in-depth studies on Qigong
techniques of various schools, including the cultivation methodologies of Mizong
branch and Xianzong branches of Buddhism, as well as the cultivation
methodologies of Taoist internal alchemy, and cultivation methodologies through
sexual intercourse, food and medicines.
Major accomplishments are as follows:
A I compiled a serial of studies on Zhonggong life-cultivation methodologies,
including Zhonggong Phase one through Phase four, and a general guide to
Zhonggong Phase one through phase four.
Among these, Zhonggong Phase one received general acclaim from the society; I
was appointed chief advisor, senior advisor or advisor respectively by
International Federation of Qigong Science, Beijing University, Qihua
University, Beijing University of Medical Science, and a dozen of other
institutions, hired as a researcher and professor by Beijing Research Institute
of Life-Cultivation Science, and elected as permanent honorary chairman of World
Association of Qigong Specialists. Zhonggong received the honor of being “the
best methodology” in the Asian Sports Festival, and I received the title of the
initiator of the most outstanding Qigong methodology.
B I created “the great methodology of Yuandun.” This methodology integrates the
essence of the life-cultivation methods of various schools, including the
world-renowned, advanced cultivation techniques such as Taoist internal
cultivation and “Mizong” cultivation methods. I extracted the best elements from
these methods and transformed the techniques into something simpler, more
concise, and more understandable so that they merged into a highly integrated
and superior technique that is more accessible for the society and ordinary
people.
C I initiated special medical studies, which include not only special medical
treatment methods through special physical capabilities and Qigong, but also
special medical methods such as Fengshui treatment techniques, Yiching treatment
techniques and “Ziweidoushu” treatment techniques, as well as various special,
drug-free, natural medical treatments derived from Tibetan medicine, Mongolian
medicine, Yi medicine, Chinese medicine, and other popular folk medicines,
ranging from the ancient to the present, from Chinese to abroad. I established a
special therapeutic institution, which consisted mainly of the Subsidiary
Hospital of International Academy of Life Science, Zhongnanshan Convalescence
Center, and Jinfoshan Special Hospital. For over a decade, I have collected more
than 100,000 cases of treatments and recoveries, and used a thousand typical
cases from them in the compilation of the book Special Medical Cases of China
(six volumes, 1.5 million words), that has been published in China.
D I created the art of Qigong painting and developed more than thirty artists of
Qigong painting. I wrote and edited the book Chinese Qilin Qigong Paintings,
which has been published in China.
E I created the Qilin philosophy. The major principles include not only “the
eight principal laws of the universe,” but also “the grand universal desing.”
In 1999, I was listed in Who's Who in the World (China Volume).
