Biography

The well-known and patriotic businessman Dr Fok Chun-wan, having inherited his father Dr Henry Fok Ying-tung’s patriotism, love for Hong Kong, resilience, and pioneering spirit, became a successful entrepreneur. In the late 1970s and early 1980s, Dr Fok’s enterprises followed the main trends, participating in the nation's reform, opening-up, and modernisation. His business activities include property, construction, tourism, culture, and transport.

Since the early 1980s, Dr Fok has held senior positions from Committee Member to Chairman in the Chinese General Chamber of Commerce, and he has also served as Vice-Chairman of the All-China Federation of Industry and Commerce, and supported the World Chinese Entrepreneurs Convention, which fosters the apolitical development and collaboration of the global Chinese business network. Dr Fok also served as a Deputy to the 11th, 12th, and 13th National People’s Congresses. With a strong sense of responsibility and mission, he has offered suggestions on reform and opening-up.

Dr Fok has long assisted the nation’s and Hong Kong’s educational and charitable causes, and founded the Hong Kong United Youth Association in order to create a platform for exchange to assist a new generation that loves its homeland and Hong Kong. He also founded the Hong Kong Pei Hua Education Foundation with Dr Lee Shau-kee, and both have been long-term contributors to talent cultivation and economic development in Chinese Mainland, demonstrating great foresight and aligning closely with Lingnan University’s motto of “Education for Service”.

Through his various martial arts roles, Dr Fok is a key driver in internationalising and popularising the Chinese martial arts. As early as the 1980s, he founded the Wushu Federation of Asia, serving as its Vice-President and later President, and successfully campaigning for Wushu’s inclusion in the Asian Games. In recent years, Dr Fok has advocated its introduction into schools and spared no effort in promoting Chinese Wushu across Asia and around the world. In acknowledgement of Dr Fok’s invaluable contributions to the industrial and commercial, education and social welfare sectors, he was awarded the Silver Bauhinia Star by the Government of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region. 

Dr Fok was awarded Doctor of Business Administration, honoris causa.
