Breaking New Ground

(Beijing) -- Liu Chuanzhi, co-founded what is now Legend Holdings – owner of Lenovo, the world's largest PC maker and seller – has dedicated his life to exploring new ground and pushing boundaries.

The corporation that he leads has operations in more than a dozen fields, including computers, real estate, financial services and investment. Still, it was surprising when in 2009 he announced a foray into agriculture, which many thought was a far cry from the company's image as a high-tech champion.
