Full coverage: 95 years of glory
Since the Chinese government's call for mass entrepreneurship and innovation, thousands of young Chinese people have started their own businesses. Today, we meet a communist party member born in the '80s, who shares with us his startup journey and dreams.
"I joined the Communist Party in 2009, when I was still a university student. Back then, I was active in organizing various activities. So with the recommendation of my teachers, I became a party member," said Song Qing, founder of Wanqun Space.
"My buddy and I looked forward to starting a business together."
"When we talk about good products, nothing but big foreign brand names come into our minds. And after visiting small cities in China, I realized that there was a huge gap in the quality of commodities and the concept of education between small and large cities. That’s when we decide to make a difference."
"Our product is named Interesting Space -- AR Intellectual learning toys. The product is based on the technologies of Augmented Reality, such as computer vision, graphics recognition and motion tracking. And we integrated the technologies into children's education."
"Starting your own business is like walking through a road full of sinkholes. But along the way, we've helped, supported and encouraged each other when facing difficulties. We started with three founders. Now we are a team of a dozen."
"It's a great journey. We hope to create a global brand trusted by all parents," he said.
"As a post-80s Party member, I'm honored to witness the rapid development of the Chinese economy. Through entrepreneurship, we clearly feel that China is transitioning from a "Made-in-China" to "Created-in-China" label. My product adopts Chinese cultural elements and traditions. It will only provide children with new learning methods, new content and new technology. I also hope my product can have a global reach, and for the world to feel the impact of a "Created-in-China"."
