After graduating from primary school, he went to Guangzhou to make a living, worked as an apprentice in a bank, was appreciated by his boss, gradually became a manager, and then switched to trade. 1935, he came to Hong Kong. At first, he made cloth watch tapes at home and sold them to the local watch shop. In the 1940s, Zhongnan Watch Company was established to deal in watch trade. Hong Kong Zhongnan Watch Co., Ltd. was established in 1934, and has invested and set up a factory in China since 1985.

The assembly of Swiss watches began in 1950. In 1955, Swiss Ledu watches were acquired and benefited from the distribution rights of watches, which laid a solid foundation for the watch industry. By the 1960s, the clock export business in Central South China was booming, and a factory building with a floor of 1 1 was built. During the period of 1976, quartz clocks appeared in the world, overseas orders continued, and clocks in Central and South China grew further. We have set up factories in North Point, Bayuwan, Shau Kei Wan, Kwai Chung and Tsuen Wan, and the head office has built a 22-storey Zhongnan Building in Lockhart Road, Wan Chai. With the prosperity of Hong Kong's watch industry, Hong Kong is now one of the world's watch industry kingdoms, with the largest export volume in the world, second only to Switzerland. Hong Kong's watch industry has replaced the toy industry and become the third largest industry after the garment industry and electronics industry. Watch exports 1977 surpassed Switzerland, ranking second in the world, and 1978 ranked first in the world. From 65438 to 0978, Zhongnan moved to the mainland to set up factories for production, and further expanded by using cheap land and labor in the mainland.
