On the evening of September 25th, Lei Jun, Chairman and CEO of XIAOMI-W, shared his thoughts on his friendship with Chen Nian during a media interview, stating: "As his friend of 28 years, I'm truly touched. I find it shocking that at over 50 years old, despite being mentally exhausted and disheartened, he started from scratch and achieved top-three status on Douyin."

"He believes I influenced him, but to some extent, I think he also influenced me. I believe he truly represents the typical pioneer spirit," Lei Jun remarked, expressing how deeply moved he was by Chen Nian, as he himself had never felt the need to pioneer in such a way.

"In today's era, regardless of age or what difficulties you face, I believe that as long as you have a heart for change and are willing to work hard, try, and fight, you always have the opportunity to create change," Lei Jun concluded.
