Personal life
The family were noted victims of the 2015 Chinese stock market crash, during which they lost approximately 40% of their previously estimated US$8 billion combined net worth. Despite this, Xu Jingren and his relatives continue to be mentioned as one of China's top "vampire billionaire" families with majority investments abroad. Notable international initiatives include the 2017 YRPG subsidiary merger and rebranding of global drug manufacturer ShangPharma by group CEO Michael Hui and board vice-chair Aaron Shang, with a stated intent of expanding North American operations leading to development of San Francisco-based venture portfolio ShangPharma Innovation.
