Huaxia Zhiyuan Club "Thousand Cities, Ten Thousand Stores" Global Expansion Symposium Held with Great Distinction in Liyang, Jiangsu
On March 28, 2026, the Huaxia Zhiyuan Club "Thousand Cities, Ten Thousand Stores" Global Expansion Symposium opened with great fanfare in Liyang, Jiangsu. The event was organized by the Huaxia Qipao Cultural Research Institute, hosted by Senyi Cultural Development (Kunshan) Co., Ltd., and co-organized by the Liyang Branch of the Huaxia Qipao Cultural Research Institute. The symposium brought together more than 60 leaders and guest representatives from the Institute‘s headquarters and from Shanghai, Changzhou, Huai‘an, Hangzhou, Suzhou, Zhenjiang, Liyang, Jintan, and beyond — gathering as one to celebrate this landmark cultural occasion and deliberate on the path of shared development ahead.
Mr. Gu Jinchang — Founder & President of Senyi Cultural Development (Kunshan) Co., Ltd., President of the Huaxia Qipao Cultural Research Institute, and Director of the Huaxia Qipao Cultural Museum — attended the event and delivered the keynote address. Grounding his remarks in the 2026 Year of the Horse development plan of both the Research Institute‘s headquarters and the corporate head office, Mr. Gu clearly set out the year‘s core mission: to advance the full-scale rollout of Huaxia Zhiyuan Club locations on all fronts. The overarching plan calls for the establishment of 10,000 club locations worldwide, with 1,000 locations to be inaugurated in 2026 as the first phase — driving, through scaled deployment, the deep integration of cultural heritage with industry development.
In terms of strategic direction, Huaxia Zhiyuan Club will concentrate its efforts across a diverse portfolio of sectors, encompassing qipao culture, intangible cultural heritage (ICH) creative products, rural revitalization, international cultural exchange and tourism, stage performances of A Century of Qipao Evolution, and the photography and AI-assisted production of the Ten-Thousand-Person Scroll of "A Thousand Li of Rivers and Mountains" rendered in Qipao — achieving multidimensional synergy across cultural heritage, industry empowerment, and international outreach. Mr. Gu Jinchang further provided a detailed account of the construction plan and future operational model for the Suzhou Zhouzhuang Venue of the Huaxia Qipao Cultural Museum, as well as the strategic roadmap for pursuing a U.S. stock market listing in 2026. By harnessing capital to empower culture, and channeling industry returns back into heritage preservation, these initiatives inject powerful momentum into the modernization and internationalization of qipao culture.
Mr. Guo Junqi — Vice President of the Huaxia Qipao Cultural Research Institute, Deputy Director of the Huaxia Qipao Cultural Museum, and Vice President of Senyi Cultural Development (Kunshan) Co., Ltd. — delivered an in-depth presentation on key subjects including the Huaxia Qipao Cultural Heritage Program and the design scheme for the Suzhou venue. Addressing the cultural essence, design philosophy, and implementation pathways of the project across multiple dimensions, Mr. Guo provided comprehensive and substantive theoretical grounding and practical guidance to support the nationwide rollout of club locations.
The attending leaders and distinguished guests took the floor one after another, expressing a high degree of consensus with the business model and development philosophy put forward by Mr. Gu Jinchang. All affirmed their commitment to actively participating in the rollout of Huaxia Zhiyuan Club locations, pledging to work together through resource integration and synergistic collaboration to advance the inheritance of qipao culture and the development of its industry — realizing a true win-win in both cultural value and economic value.
The successful convening of this symposium has not only raised the curtain on the global expansion of Huaxia Zhiyuan Club, but has equally furnished an entirely new paradigm for the creative transformation and innovative development of China‘s outstanding traditional culture — with cultural heritage as its core, industry development as its vehicle, and international cooperation as its horizon. Through the "Thousand Cities, Ten Thousand Stores" network as its vessel, Huaxia Zhiyuan Club will allow qipao culture — a jewel of Eastern aesthetics — to radiate its brilliance across the globe. Through each distinctive store and every cultural event, the elegance, subtlety, and profound depth of the East will be carried to every corner of the world, allowing the inner grace and outer beauty of the Eastern woman, and the vast magnificence of Chinese civilization, to shine with ever more resplendent brilliance in the currents of our times.
