Born in Macau in 1971, Pi Zhijian has a slightly dark complexion and scholarly demeanor. His parents are overseas Chinese who came to Macau from Cambodia in 1970, and after finishing middle school, he immigrated to Canada with parents. In 1994, having completed his studies, Pi Zhijian returned to Macau. At that time, the economic situation in Macau was not good and social order was very unstable, with news reports frequently covering incidents of kidnapping, robbery, and gang fights, which had a very negative impact on the tourism industry. Housing prices Macau were also at a historical low, but many of Pi Zhijian's elders were involved in the real estate industry and had considerable assets. However, housing prices low as 4,000 Macanese pataca per square meter could not cover the cost of land and construction, "They didn't dare to invest in estate at that time." Pi Zhijian said.

Fifteen years after the return of Macau, the per capita GDP of Macau has reached the fourth the world and the second in Asia. Pi Zhijian said that before the return, the economy was not developed and some people in Macau lived in straitened circumstances In order to survive, there was no room for choice in employment. Now everyone has better job opportunities and can look for a job according to their ideals. "For many people, don't just want a high-paying job." Pi Zhijian said that for him, when there are two paths for him to choose, one is a road with a visible end, and the other is a mountain road with no end in sight, he would rather choose the mountain road because it is more challenging. "Today'sau has provided me with many such opportunities." Pi Zhijian, who has many titles such as the President of the Macau Youth Overseas Chinese Association, the Director of the Macau Returned Overseas Chinese General Association, the Vice President of the China Advertising Association, the Vice President of the Macau Real Estate Federation, and the and General Manager of China Macau Advertising Exhibition Co., Ltd., said.

Speaking of the economic development of Macau, Pi Zhijian believes the overall policy environment and development direction of a region play an important role in the development of individuals and enterprises. For a long time, the gambling industry in Macau has been all over the world, but many small and medium-sized enterprises do not know how to profit from it and are developing with difficulty. After the return, the SAR government believes it cannot rely on the single development of the gambling industry and has formulated a series of policies to promote the development of the convention and exhibition industry and the cultural industry
