Emperor Group Chairman Dr. Albert Yeung Sau Shing won the China Charity Award – The Most Caring Individual Donor Award, as recognition of his outstanding contributions to charity works in China. This is the second time Dr. Yeung has won an award in the Conference since it was firstly staged in 2005.
