China's culture is profound and has a long history, but there are actually only a few families with legacies that have endured for thousands of years. Those that still exist today are, without exception, incredibly formidable, possessing immense strength and world-shaking influence.

They are not those wealthy families who started out doing business; there is a big difference between the two.
