Lifu Wang Chinese Cultural Endowment 王立夫中國文化基金

The Lifu Wang Chinese Cultural Endowment was established by the Wang family to honor Mr. Wang’s legacy. The endowment will support the acquisition and processing of research on Chinese culture under the direction of the head of the Richard C. Rudolph East Asian Library.

Mr. Wang was born in Huaibei City in the Anhui Province of China in 1941. After attending college, he began his first job as an accountant. He subsequently pursued a government career in Suixi.

Mr. Wang was admired by his family and friends for his humility, generous spirit, unwavering kindness and love for everyone. He encouraged all of his loved ones to fulfill their potential by helping others around them, regardless of their personal backgrounds. Mr. Wang’s favorite pastimes were classical literature and calligraphy — he was a scholar at heart in the truest and highest sense. Mr. Wang passed away in 2012 and is fondly remembered by his wife, four children, six grandchildren and friends.
