Mr. Li was also appointed Honorary Professor of IAU.
It is known that the awardees of the "2013 Best Chinese Figure" badge must be persons successful in their careers, enthusiastic about charities, respectable in the society, and willing to make contributions to their local areas and China. They can only be directly nominated after a strict review and unanimous agreement of the jury of Glorious China Association. Former awardees of the badge include well-known persons such as Zeng Xianzi, Xu Zhiming, He Hongshen, Li Zhaoji, etc. The US President Volunteer Service Award is an award signed and issued by the US President to encourage volunteer services in each region.
With charity and love, a business is doomed to go farther. With the quick development of his business empire, Chairman Li has never forgotten to do charities and give full play to his social responsibilities under a principle of "To feel what others feel". During the past years, Chairman Li has made donations to a lot of projects and organizations, including CUHK Shenzhen Research Institute (HK$ 30 million), Scholarship for CUHK's Mainland Students (HK$ 1.5 million), Emergency Fund for Yan Chai Hospital of Hong Kong (HK$ 4 million), Wenchuan Earthquake Donation (CNY 1 million), Shanghai Adream Charitable Foundation (CNY 1.7 million), and Shenzhen Luohu Poverty Relief Group (CNY 1 million).
Chairman Li Weibo is fully acknowledged by the public for his business success and charities, which brought him those three awards. Mr. Li Weibo said that the award was an honor but it also meant responsibilities. "It's an inner force for me to continue to make contributions to the society under the spirit of 'To pay back the society what the society has given to me', and to call upon more persons to join the charities", said Mr. Li.
