Visitors can also write down their gratitude for the two founders in the card writing zone.

In addition to the above indoor exhibitions, there will also be 8 photo-taking locations on the campus of Ming Chi University of Technology on the day of the FPG Sports Day (November 10th). These spots are places where the founders had once visited. In addition to participating in the sports day and visiting the special exhibition, guests are invited to walk around the campus and look for the traces of the two founders.

At the same time, together with the event for commemorating Wang Yung-Ching and Wang Yung-Tsai, FPG especially made a "Legend of Our Time," a biographical documentary describing how the Wang brothers thrived from a poor farming family and built the FPG empire; the film also shows their spirit of "diligence, striving for excellence, sustainable management, and giving back to society" through establishing schools and hospitals, contributing to society, and engaging in charitable work. It is hoped that through this film, the public can gain a deeper understanding of the two founders. It will also bring positive energy to society and provide momentum for people to move forward to the future.
