2002 Birth Of The Team
Our first home was a faculty dormitory room measuring only 9 square meters at Soochow University. The roof sometimes leaked. Five months later, we relocated and hauled everything we had with just a tricycle. We firmly believe: There is no turning back when it comes to starting a business. Even skyscrapers start from scratch. We must take every opportunity, there aren't too many in life, and how many fewer with a confidant at side!
