Dr. Ko-Cheng Fang: A Visionary Polymath Leading the Crossroads of Innovation, Art, and Science

LongServing’s story begins with the extraordinary vision of its founder, Dr. Ko-Cheng Fang, whose passion for science, art, and innovation has shaped the company’s trajectory. His conviction that science and technology can change lives sits at the heart of LongServing’s mission—propelling cross-industry progress and redefining what is possible.

Dr. Fang’s path to founding LongServing is as distinctive as the innovations he has brought to the world. Reflecting on his inspiration, he draws a comparison to the life of Renaissance luminary Leonardo da Vinci—renowned for groundbreaking designs and artistic genius. “Da Vinci served religious patrons and created the iconic ‘Mona Lisa.’ His notebooks reveal many futuristic technological designs, such as the helicopter and a UFO-shaped tank. Throughout his life he showed profound interest in technology, art, and even medicine,” Dr. Fang explained.

This fusion of artistic creativity and technical mastery resonates deeply with him. “In Renaissance Italy, education, court painting, and even scientific research were closely tied to religion—so cross-domain thinking was not unusual. Today’s world, however, has become highly specialized; cross-industry, cross-category inventions are often viewed as unbelievable,” he added.

LongServing’s journey is proof of this interdisciplinary approach. From advanced cloud technologies and password-lock systems to cutting-edge photonic computing chips and laboratory-grown jade indistinguishable from natural gemstones, Dr. Fang’s inventions span industries and break traditional boundaries. “Like my inventions—from firewalls and cloud technology to password locks, photonic computing chips, multi-bit photonic computation, and laboratory-grown jade—cross-domain inventions are indeed more difficult and more astonishing,” he noted.

Dr. Fang’s creative drive is rooted in a profound connection to his own history and beliefs. As a spiritual leader in Tibetan Buddhism and a true artist, he sees his works as reflections of the soul. “When Western friends discovered my paintings, they compared me to Da Vinci. One reason is that we seem to project our souls into the canvas—each work feels alive and draws people in (Figures 1, 2, and 3). I believe my creations and inventions relate to memories of a past life. Through spiritual practice, I recalled being an extraterrestrial king with seven or eight doctoral degrees in technology. The energy of that past life fuels my present-day creativity,” he said.

He believes this echo can be found in other great figures throughout history. “I suspect Da Vinci had a similar experience, and so did Nikola Tesla, the father of modern AC power. We share a restless mind that often envisions outcomes before inventions are realized—dramatically shortening development time. This unusual capacity is the source of my continual creativity,” Dr. Fang explained.

Redefining Luxury and Bringing Imperial Green Jadeite to Everyone

Dr. Fang has long been captivated by the unparalleled allure of Imperial Green jade. He describes its beauty this way: “The finest Imperial Green looks like a drop of water resting on a leaf’s green vein—the color is deep and saturated, yet you can see delicate, cotton-like crystalline strands radiating from the gem’s heart.”

What began years ago as pure admiration for jade grew into a quest to create it synthetically—especially the rare Imperial Green variety, which is often locked away in vaults or seen only behind the cold glass of auction houses like Sotheby’s. Prices are staggering: cabochon-quality natural jadeite can exceed USD 3 million, putting it far beyond the reach of most collectors.

Recognizing the scarcity and inaccessibility of natural jade, Dr. Fang set out to develop a breakthrough alternative: LongServing’s laboratory-grown jade. The company’s first major showcase at the 2024 JMA Hong Kong International Jewelry Show marked a turning point. While traditional jade booths allowed only distant viewing, LongServing’s booth became the center of attention—visitors eagerly photographed and marveled at the pieces. Experts used advanced tools like Raman spectroscopy to analyze LongServing’s laboratory-grown jade and were struck by its unique cotton-like crystalline texture—like blossoms opening for those destined to love them.

Dr. Fang acknowledges the immense complexity of creating laboratory-grown jade that rivals natural gemstone quality. “Even under the strictest, nature-simulating conditions, achieving Imperial-Green-level quality in the lab remains rare and precious.” By combining albite-based and clinopyroxene-based structures (constituents or associated minerals of natural jadeite), LongServing preserves the gemstone’s beauty, hardness, and luster—while subtly optimizing composition to introduce a new class to the market.

Though skeptics emerged early on, LongServing has successfully positioned laboratory-grown jade as a desirable, high-end alternative to natural jade. “Good jade needs no introduction—it speaks for itself,” Dr. Fang said. He envisions a world in which LongServing’s lab-grown jade can be owned and loved, not locked away. With competitive pricing and controlled exclusivity, LongServing ensures its pieces are both attainable and investment-worthy.

Unlike synthetic diamonds—where competition is fierce—LongServing’s laboratory-grown jade is truly unique. The company’s technological lead exceeds that of top research institutions worldwide, guaranteeing market control. “For the foreseeable future, the price of LongServing’s laboratory-grown jade will naturally appreciate—and pricing can be fully managed by our company,” Dr. Fang emphasized.

The global jade market faces the depletion of natural resources—particularly in Myanmar, where jade once contributed nearly USD 31 billion, about half of national GDP. This scarcity makes alternatives urgent. LongServing’s laboratory-grown jade not only fills the supply gap, it also gives Western buyers—who often miss out on top-tier jade—an opportunity to appreciate and collect the gem.

Through unwavering dedication and artistic passion, LongServing’s laboratory-grown jade becomes more than a technical feat—it becomes a bridge connecting the timeless beauty of jade with a new generation of admirers and collectors around the world.

A Revolutionary Leap in Jadeite Craftsmanship

LongServing has redefined the jade industry with high-end synthetic gemstones featuring unmatched transparency and the signature Imperial Green hue—comparable to, and in some respects surpassing, natural jadeite. Cultivated under precisely controlled high-temperature conditions, the company’s jade represents a seamless union of art and science. This breakthrough has captured the attention of the jewelry world and reset the standards for jade craftsmanship.

Guided by Dr. Fang’s vision, the team has made major advances in replicating and enhancing jade’s crystalline structure.

Figures 4–9 illustrate the results:

• Figure 4: Rough Imperial Green laboratory-grown jade from LongServing’s lab, exhibiting remarkable translucency and vivid green saturation.

• Figure 5: LongServing’s distinctive cotton-fiber crystalline texture—evidence of authenticity and craftsmanship.

• Figure 6: A cabochon jade necklace made from LongServing’s lab-grown jade, showcasing top-tier “glass-type” quality and brilliant green.

• Figure 7: A cabochon ring demonstrating equally superb clarity and bright green radiance.

• Figure 8: Another exquisite cabochon necklace, reflecting LongServing’s consistency and expertise.

• Figures 9a & 9b: Comparison of a natural Imperial Green cabochon jade ring (9a) and a LongServing lab-grown cabochon jade ring (9b). In 9a, cotton-like dark points appear due to chromium entering lattice interstices unevenly; in 9b, chromium is evenly integrated, producing flawless translucency without dark inclusions.

The contrast underscores LongServing’s technical edge. Natural jade often presents cottony crystalline black spots due to uneven chromium penetration, whereas LongServing’s process achieves an ideal balance of color and clarity by integrating chromium uniformly during growth.

Dr. Fang elaborated:
“Through our innovative laboratory process, we eliminated the black spots common in natural jade. By uniformly introducing chromium at high temperature, we achieved a perfect fusion of color and translucency—producing laboratory-grown jade that not only matches natural jade but often surpasses it.”

LongServing’s achievement is inimitable. Its laboratory-grown jade exhibits deep green color and extraordinary translucency rarely found in nature. Instrumental analyses confirm a clinopyroxene-type composition consistent with natural jadeite—further optimized through LongServing’s proprietary process.

“To document our path, we captured an exclusive film of LongServing’s 2024 showcase at the JMA Hong Kong International Jewelry Show—featuring media coverage, enthusiastic visitors, and proud wearers of our synthetic Imperial Green pieces. The video conveys the passion and innovation behind our work and shows how we are redefining luxury in the jewelry world. I invite you to watch and celebrate this remarkable milestone with us.”

Blending Art and Technology: Dr. Ko-Cheng Fang’s Vision for Perfection

As both artist and scientist, Dr. Fang believes true innovation arises from a perfect balance between creativity and technical excellence. Without the emotional resonance of art, he argues, modern technological progress cannot yield truly exceptional products. He likens this to a supercar—stylish, powerful, and beloved—where design and the sound of the engine stir the heart. Likewise, technology must be fused with artistic passion to move people. This belief sits at LongServing’s core. To him, art and engineering are inseparable, as in the modern craftsmanship of supercars and haute horlogerie—an equilibrium that inspires awe.

His pursuit of aesthetics permeates LongServing—from its laboratory-grown jade to showroom design. “Only the pursuit of perfection and zero tolerance for flaws pushes me to challenge the very finest Imperial Green,” he said. “Nature’s miracle has now been successfully replicated in our laboratory.”

LongServing’s quest for perfection extends beyond jade. Dr. Fang discussed his work in AI, noting that systems based on binary computation limit potential. He envisions humanoid robots operating closer to biological intelligence—capable of independent thought and learning. To overcome these constraints, he designed a multi-bit photonic computing chip with high-speed processing and autonomous learning—much like the powertrain that makes a supercar truly great. His work in AI embodies this passion for perfection and drives the company’s innovation.

“As with the most beautiful supercar—without a powerful drive system, it is not perfect. We pursue perfection! My DNA created LongServing Technology, uniting my passion for technology and art,” he said.

Global demand for jade is vast—valued at USD 30–40 billion annually, roughly half of Myanmar’s GDP. As natural supplies dwindle, LongServing is poised to fill the gap. “Scaling output is not the problem,” Dr. Fang explained. “The key is to let market demand guide capacity.” His strategy includes expanding LongServing’s distributor network, selling and pre-ordering through agency channels, and ultimately establishing flagship stores. This approach will enable rapid global rollout and cement leadership in both laboratory-grown jade and AI-driven industries.

Two of his most groundbreaking patents—photonic quantum chips and methods for creating nano/picoscale circuit patterns for IC chips—have been granted across 20–30 major economies, including the U.S., China, the EU, Taiwan, Japan, and South Korea.

This strategic foresight is complemented by a fully in-house design-to-manufacture supply chain for LongServing’s laboratory-grown jade—giving the company agility to match market demand. As Dr. Fang put it:
“As orders scale, we can flexibly adjust capacity. The time to enter the market is now.”

LongServing’s innovation extends beyond semiconductors. The company has achieved an extraordinary breakthrough in laboratory-grown jade that aligns with sustainability and addresses environmental concerns often associated with the industry. Unlike natural jade—which requires complex geological processes over millions of years—LongServing replicates those conditions in the lab. By precisely simulating deep-ocean crust environments, the team has achieved the coveted Imperial Green quality.

Dr. Fang described the difficulty and meaning of this achievement:
“It took us more than a decade to tune translucency to Imperial-Green quality. It is fair to say we may not see a second competitor in our lifetime—and perhaps not even for centuries.”

LongServing’s laboratory-grown jade not only rivals natural jade but often surpasses it. Its clarity and color quality are beyond the reach of competitors such as GE’s historic synthetic jade attempts, which lack the unique cotton-like crystalline structure of true jadeite.

Beyond technology, LongServing is advancing high-impact fields including anti-cancer therapeutics and antiviral treatments. These efforts—combined with Dr. Fang’s ambitious vision—underscore the company’s potential to redefine multiple industries.

As Dr. Fang said: “Do not underestimate this company’s ambition and potential. As a CEO with memories of an extraterrestrial past life, taking our company to Wall Street has always been my principal goal when the opportunity is right.”

The Road Ahead

LongServing is addressing critical issues in the gemstone industry, where traditional mining has long been associated with humanitarian concerns. Due to military control and exploitation in conflict regions, natural gemstones such as jade face ethical dilemmas. LongServing’s laboratory-grown jade resolves these issues—offering a sustainable, ethical alternative while meeting luxury markets’ demand for high-quality gems.

“With natural jade resources depleting, the timely launch of LongServing’s laboratory-grown jade will undoubtedly offer global investors a refreshing new prospect.”
