Ah-Shou
Founder of Longqi & Taiwan General Agent of KAWAIARO

Some encounters are never a coincidence.

In Taiwan, there is a man we all call — A Shou.
He is the founder of Longqi and also the exclusive distributor of KAWAIARO in Taiwan.

If you truly know him, you will realize he is different from many others.

He always puts his customers first.
When he gets busy, it is common for him to eat only one meal a day — no time for breakfast, forgetting lunch, and only eating something simple at night.

But when it comes to fish and fellow enthusiasts, he never holds anything back.
His experience, knowledge, and even his time — he is willing to share them all.

To him, this is not just a business. It feels more like a responsibility.

Not for money, but because he believed.

Many people think he entered this industry to make money.

But the truth is exactly the opposite.

Before everything truly began, he had already met KAWAIARO's founder — Kai Liang.

One was running a restaurant in Taiwan, while the other was raising Asian Arowanas in Malaysia.

Two different lives, connected by the same belief — to bring Asian Arowanas into Taiwan in the right way.

At that time, it was only an idea.

A low point does not always mean the end.

Then one day, the restaurant closed.

To others, that may have looked like rock bottom.

But to him, it was an opening.

He did not choose to stop. Instead, he flew directly to Malaysia, stepped into the fish farm, and started learning from the very basics.

Not as a boss, but from absolute zero.

Some values are not visible to everyone.

Because of this, he saw things that many people never noticed.

He watched fish farms close down one after another. He saw veterans who had spent their entire lives in this trade facing the harshness of reality.

And he came to understand even more clearly that every Asian Arowana we see today does not exist by chance.

They are lives that have been carried forward, little by little, through the time and persistence of countless people.

What the market lost was trust.

But the reality is — the market is far from perfect.

Too many people in the past only saw profit. Information was not transparent, prices were chaotic, and consumers were often misled.

Many people who once loved Asian Arowanas eventually chose to leave.

Slowly, this market lost the most important thing of all — trust.

Explain things clearly. Raise the fish well.

That is why the partnership between KAWAIARO and Longqi was clear from the very beginning.

What we want to do is actually very simple.

Explain things clearly. Raise the fish well. And help more people truly understand Asian Arowanas in the right way.

Not through hype. Not through packaging.

But by returning to the most essential values.

At KAWAIARO, we have always believed: Asian Arowanas are not only about their beautiful appearance, nor are they merely a cultural symbol. They are a story that has been passed down and carried forward.

Local Continuation and Practice

This is not a transaction.

Taiwan is an important stop on this journey.

Through A Shou, and through Longqi, we have brought KAWAIARO's philosophy here.

It is more than a partnership. It is like placing a shared conviction into the hands of someone willing to continue carrying it forward.

In the future, what we hope to see is not only the growth of the market.

We hope for a healthier, more transparent, and more human-centered ecosystem for Asian Arowanas.

So that more people can rediscover them, and so that this culture can continue to be understood and carried on in different places.

This is not a transaction.

This is a journey that is still continuing.
