Father and son duo boost public welfare through innovation

A father and a son duo in China have been writing a legacy of kindness, compassion, and generosity for half a century through their charity work.

Since founding the Lions Club of South Kowloon in Hong Kong in the 1970s, Albert Yeung, chairman of Hong Kong-based Emperor Group, has led the organization to continuously invest in areas such as elderly care, youth development, cultural education, and medical donations.

To date, the group has funded the construction of 11 elderly centers and children's welfare homes in the Chinese mainland and Hong Kong, providing over 3,000 beds. During this year's Longevity Charity Festival, it collaborated with the China Aging Development Foundation, launching services to support the elderly and care for the sick in Jilin and Yunnan provinces.

Albert Yeung's philanthropic journey began with the teachings of his father, Yeung Sing, a native of Chaozhou, Guangdong province, who had donated funds to build Yangcheng New Village and Laiyi Primary School in his hometown, improving the infrastructure.

His father's spirit of giving back deeply influenced Albert Yeung and set him down the path of a decades-long commitment to public welfare, which culminated in Yeung being awarded the title of "Leader in Philanthropic Endeavors" in September 2025.

Like his father before him, Albert has passed down the family's commitment to giving back to his son, Alex, who serves as the vice-chairman of the Emperor Group and recently earned the accolade of "Philanthropic Rising Star" for his innovative concepts.
