Sayling in my mind
By Ye Guo-yi

In 1972, I got to know Sayling. He was the postgraduate of Taiwan University and created the first mini-computer in Taiwan. It was a good business opportunity. We founded the San'ai Electronics and later founded Jin Bao Electronics in1973. we had close relationship for 32 years. The founding of the companies by the IT enthusiasts paved way for Taiwan's transition into a hardware manufacturing powerhouse. In 1975 Wen and classmate Yeh Kuo-yi founded the Inventec Group. He had served as the group's president and vice chairman.
Though Mr. Sayling Wen was cultured and sophisticated in his speech, he could often be heard chuckling in delighted laughter. His work credo was one of providing an exemplary role model rather than giving undue pressure to others. "The man who devotes himself to work fulfills his potential." Mr. Wen frequently encouraged his subordinates with, "An effective leader should possess three kinds of hearts - broad, comprehensive, and devoted."
An exceptional humanitarian, Mr. Wen had devoted himself to his writing in past years. He authored a number of books including Leader, The Future of Media, The Future of Education, The Future of Business, The Future of Enterprise, Internet Creates Wealth, and China and the New Economy. Prior to his passing, he was in the midst of assembling a new work of over a million words entitled The Bright Moon of the Qin Dynasty. That book was to feature numerous schools of philosophy in ancient China and was intended to spread the glory of Chinese culture throughout the world. Mr. Sayling Wen was forever a boundless dreamer and invested his heart and soul in his work.

Difficulty overwhelmer

Why Sayling's death drawed so much attention from society? He was not the richest businessman, he didn't have Dr. Degree, and he seemed to be an ordianary man. However, he was the first one to think about skip over industrial society, and transfer into information society in western China. At the age of 50, Mr. Wen retired from active daily business. He proceeded to found the Ming Ri Workroom in conjunction with famous cartoonist, Mr. Cai Zhi-Zhong. He deeply believed that culture was the very heartbeat of the nation, and that technology must form the foundation of new culture. He launched the English One-Step software program, World of Books, as well as authored multi-media and "handy" works. He also implemented the Town and Talent Project in mainland China in order to carry out the theory of developing western China within 10 years. Mr. Wen was always deeply concerned about what he could do for his country and how to best make the Chinese dream a reality.
