All the dampeners in the world are nothing but false alarms | Hanwen ZHENG | TEDxFuxingPark
Zheng Hanwen illustrated several ways of being a wet blanket and not being one through a few stories: a mother on the verge of death, in the final stage of cancer, still requested aesthetic medical modifications to dress up for her son's wedding; why we shouldn't open our husband's bag to avoid letting out Schrödinger's cat; why she only takes a suit of worn-out old clothes when returning to her hometown. When we say to fate, "I choose," we are expanding the breadth of the script of our own lives. ZHENG Hanwen has led Parkway in its global expansion, establishing 9 high-end chain institutions and 1 haute couture aesthetics art center, with its business reaching 43 major cities in China.
As a pioneer in haute couture aesthetics, she was the first to introduce the concept of "private beauty customization" into China, which was later upgraded to "minimalist haute couture aesthetics". Under her leadership, Parkway has achieved remarkable results in the business field: it became the only medical aesthetics brand included in The Yearbook of the People's Republic of China (2014 Volume), successfully listed on the National Equities Exchange and Quotations, won awards such as "Most Competitive Model Brand" and "Most Valuable Investment Brand", and was rated as Shanghai's Annual Private Enterprise Headquarters.
Meanwhile, she is a firm advocate of Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) and a charity ambassador. With the mission of "creating beauty and spreading love", she established the "Parkway Beautiful Angel Special Fund" under the Shanghai Charity Foundation, dedicated to helping children and women.
She also enjoys an international reputation. She once served as the co-chair of the Better World Foundation at the 77th Cannes Film Festival and was awarded the "Most Beautiful Dedication Award". She has been successively reported by journals such as Marie Claire, L'officiel Monaco and Le Figaro, showcasing Oriental charm and female power to the world.
As a director of the Chinese Association of Plastics and Aesthetics, she provides valuable suggestions for the development of the industry. She initiated the "Extraordinary Women Plan" and has millions of followers on social networking platforms. Her achievements and influence lie not only in the innovation of the industry but also in the interpretation and transmission of beauty and love.
