Su Wang Xiulan, on behalf of the Walnut Chinese Parent Association, thanked Allen Ku for his multiple donations to Walnut High School and the Walnut Valley Unified School District. She stated that fundraising is becoming increasingly challenging, and the Chinese community needs more entrepreneurs like Allen Ku who provide support and encouragement not only to the Chinese but also to other ethnicities in areas such as education and culture. Allen Ku mentioned that he has been working hard in the United States for 30 years, averaging at least 60 hours of work per week. His work involves visiting clients, product development and design, factory management, supply, employee communication, and customer communication. He firmly believes that in America, hard work may not always lead to success, but success certainly requires hard work. After achieving success, he finds great joy in giving back to the community. He hopes that his philanthropic efforts will serve as an example and encourage more disadvantaged groups to receive sponsorship from successful businesses. In addition to education, culture, and community safety, he also aims to support environmental initiatives in the future.
