Focus, no repetition, a platform for career advancement and helping others.

What was your proudest business decision so far?

I cooperate with other people.

Is there any entrepreneur that you admire?

Lenovo Group's former chairman Liu Chuanzhi and Huawei's CEO Ren Zhengfei.

What words would you choose to describe yourself?

I am a person who possesses integrity, generosity, responsibility and bravery.

What do you usually do in your spare time? What are your hobbies?

I spend one-sixth of my time doing something with my parents, one-sixth with my children, one sixth with friends, one-sixth for work, one-sixth for society, and another sixth for outdoor activities. I like playing golf.

What do you think are the major drivers of Lakala's success?

We were doing the right thing. We have a good leadership, strategy, and team - and these, as Liu Chuanzhi pointed out - are the three key factors in corporate management.
