10

11
absolutely nothing and turn her life into something that every single person would love to replicate.
12
How old are you? you 57.
13
But what does it feel like to be 57?
14
Extremely fantastic stage.
15
I found myself, I have that inner peace and inner abundance.
16
The key is to find the truth of yourself.
17
If you can find The essence of that, you have to clean up a lot of limitations and burdens,
18
and especially some of the labels you think is right in the past.
19
What's a label that you had put onto yourself that you've let go of?
20
Perfectionism.
21
I always feel I'm not good enough.
22
I'm not good enough Until one day.
23
I realized that's the limitation.
24
If you can get read off or let go of that limitation.
25
you feel much, you know, lighter.
26
without you carrying the burden for quite a long time, it's like you're free.
27
Why do you think that you had that mentality of that you were never good enough?
28
Underneath.
29
There is a saying, "I'm not enough.
30
I still need to work harder." But it's really hard for people to see.
31
something beneath, just like the ice mountain, the surface is the behavior people can can see obviously,
32
but there's a lot of things behind that that's really you.
33
if we can have opportunity to see through that.
34
How old were you when that changed?
35
The letting go, I'm curious.
36
Just several years ago.
37
Yeah, in your 50s?
38
Yeah, around that time, seven or eight years ago.
39
I started to enter into this self -exploration journey.
40
Okay.
41
Did something happen in your life?
42
In the past.
43
I only see the first mountain, which is the material world.
44
Everybody we chase for the status, the wealth, the titles, achievements,
45
etc. until someday I realized That is an endless game.
46
No matter how successful you are, you may still feel something like a hole in your heart, some anxiety never go away.
47
Are there any greater power?
48
Are there the so -called sustainable satisfaction over there?
49
So with that tiny question, I started to explore the answers along the way.
50
I'm curious.
51
So two reasons.
52
So one, you're 57.
53
You look amazing.
54
At the same time, I feel like there's a lot of lessons that people don't learn soon enough.
55
get wrong.
56
in terms of aging.
57
It peoples.
58
always chasing the outside things.
59
There's no time for the inner for the inner peace.
60
for the inner quiet.
61
Only when people look inward, start this journey to find the true self.
62
And then I think we enter into the state with that inner abundance, inner peace.
63
So if you feel good, you actually attract people.
64
good people and the good things around you.
65
So I think the best is yet come maybe 80, 80 years old, there's still something fabulous will happen.
66
Yeah, that is interesting.
67
For someone of your stature, the amount that you've achieved, material wealth or success that you've achieved, to say that the most important thing,
68
to enjoy that, and to enjoy life is actually inwards.
69
Do you think that you could be as happy as you are now with a lot less?
70
Yeah, definitely.
71
I think people used to think about, I need to do things and I have, you know, like wealth, like prosperity,
72
etc. And then I can become happy.
73
That's wrong.
74
Yeah.
75
Yeah.
76
I think on the contrary, that's become first.
77
So stay in a good place.
78
status.
79
be in first and then you can have.
80
Yeah, I agree.
81
Yeah.
82
People always say when I have this, I will feel this way.
83
but In order to feel that way, I think chasing success and chasing happiness are not the same.
84
You can be very materialistically successful, but not happy.
85
And you can be very happy, but not materialistically successful.
86
Exactly.
87
I love that.
88
What do we need to know about your childhood
89
and about how you grew up? in order to understand the version of you that we're speaking with today.
90
I was born in Beijing.
91
I'm the youngest kid in my family.
92
I have one brother, one sister, older than me.
93
I think in my childhood, I'm pretty lonely.
94
Um...
95
I live in the countryside when I was in the primary school.
96
I have to spend at least one hour to walk to the classroom.
97
And along the way, maybe we met.
98
The boy bullied us or some dogs chasing us.
99
So it's not safe. But...
100
What impressed me most is the flat Lent.
101
is extending far away, this almost no limitation.
102
It's so vast, so spacious.
103
It's around seven years old.
104
Thank you.
105
So I have a deep connect with the nature.
106
So I think that's leave me profound.
107
impact in my whole life.
108
Because with the connection of the nature, there's no limitation for me.
109
I can run, I can do things, whatever I want.
110
So that's the connection with nature.
111
And I think in my characteristic, and kind of creator.
112
So I always like to...
113
Think, fair to think and dare to do.
114
And that's something I think related to my childhood.
115
Yeah, that's an experience.
116
That is so interesting.
117
Like it's not wealthy, it's more...
118
It's pretty poor.
119
It's pretty...
120
Yeah, yeah.
121
I remember if we can have rice, yeah, that's pretty good.
122
Yeah.
123
Wow.
124
Just white rice, plain rice.
125
Yeah.
126
Were you close with your parents growing up?
127
You said you said you're the youngest and your childhood felt lonely, but were you close with your parents growing up?
128
I think around that time, We're always very busy.
129
They're always working, try to take care a lot of things.
130
So, In my childhood, I don't have the so -called deep conversation or communication with others.
131
So I think that made me very independent and resilient.
132
I'm also not sociable in school.
133
Yeah.
134
So I remember I tried to Hide.
135
My light?
136
in order to be not so stand out.
137
Oh, I see.
138
Yeah.
139
Yeah.
140
Did you feel you were different than other people though?
141
I think so.
142
Yeah.
143
I remember I, uh, write on a diary,
144
I talk to myself, and from the very young age I started to make decision Yeah, so when I look back, I think through my life,
145
like this independent, like this resilience.
146
is practiced, through their childhood.
147
So I really appreciate that my parents are so busy.
148
So I'm free.
149
Right.
150
From very beginning, I made all the decisions by myself.
151
I think the good side is I used to listen to my heart.
152
and make decisions.
153
But on the other hand, I realized later um I think maybe I cannot rely on.
154
Any others?
155
I have to totally rely on me.
156
That's the areas later on I found I needed to appreciate the trust.
157
Thus, I learned from my husband.
158
So, and later on, I built a trust environment for the organizations.
159
for the nonprofit organization Fifth Build.
160
Yeah, okay again.
161
So for someone again first time that they're meeting you and So DHgate is probably the thing you're most well known for.
162
If you can explain what it is in your words.
163
Yeah, DHgate is my second startup and we are the first mover in this cross -border e -commerce marketplace.
164
I think about this like the Asian Silk Road.
165
We don't have camel but we have internet.
166
So people around the world that they can exchange products online.
167
that will look like beautiful.
168
So from that picture, we started to...
169
come out with the new business model.
170
which is nowadays is pretty common.
171
But around that time, I remembered A lot of people in the traditional trading business think this is nonsense.
172
It's ridiculous.
173
This cannot happen.
174
The EDGATED right now covers more than 230 countries worldwide and regions.
175
And yeah, we have more than 2 million manufacturers in China,
176
and they reach almost 100 million global small business individual consumers.
177
Yeah, right now.
178
And you had that idea 20 years ago, correct?
179
20 years ago.
180
What was life like for you from a career standpoint, where were you?
181
What were you doing before this idea came to mind?
182
Before DHgate, I was the co -founder of joyo .com.
183
At the end of 1999, Joyo was one of the first B2C e -commerce platform in China.
184
And the joy was acquired by Amazon in 2004.
185
So that's my first startup.
186
And before that, I worked for Microsoft in the Cisco as a senior manager.
187
And before that I was work in Tsinghua University.
188
You were a teacher?
189
A teacher, yeah.
190
What drove you to go from teacher to management executive?
191
I'm curious on that.
192
Every time, I think I...
193
listen to my heart.
194
This is not something I really want.
195
Because I'm familiar, you also choose different career because you think that's not something you really want from bottom your heart.
196
Yeah, I worked at a bank before doing this.
197
So I didn't really know what I wanted to do.
198
But when you don't know your dream, it's easy for society to decide it for you.
199
So my friends, my teachers, school, they said, go get a job in a bank.
200
It's good.
201
It's a good idea.
202
And when I worked there for almost a year, I looked at my boss.
203
I wrote it down on a piece of paper.
204
If I become the CEO in 30 years, will I be happy?
205
No. I totally echo what they were saying.
206
So that's something similar when I left Cisco.
207
A lot of people have that feeling and they're still in that job.
208
Yeah.
209
What's the difference between someone like you and someone like that.
210
What my passion.
211
What's What scenes made my eyes light up?
212
If people ask that question, what we really want.
213
But as you mentioned, although they get the answer.
214
but they don't believe it.
215
They don't believe it.
216
A lot of people are interested.
217
in life, but not committed.
218
They're interested in the idea of what life might look like if they were more creative, or they dove into thy passion, but being committed to it,
219
It's doing the work when Nobody's watching you, it's doing the work when everyone is judging you, it's actually taking action.
220
I think the trend I've noticed from a lot of interviews with successful people who are successful and fulfilled. is action.
221
A lot of people have thoughts.
222
Everyone has thoughts.
223
Well, almost.
224
Yes.
225
Because first is really talk to our heart to find that aspiration.
226
Yeah that passion.
227
and secondly, if you believe it or not.
228
Yeah.
229
And it's thoroughly if you really want to take action or not.
230
Yeah.
231
And that's make life different.
232
Was it hard for you from a judgment standpoint?
233
Like when you quit your job where people judging you was tough in that regard?
234
That's really good question, Willi.
235
If that answer coming from your heart?
236
The answer is so simple. so clear.
237
You don't need to have any struggle on it.
238
But once the answer comes from your mind, from the logic, it's a lot of calculation.
239
a lot of struggle.
240
back and forth, you couldn't you know, make a decision.
241
That's the key difference between the answer coming from your mind or coming from your heart.
242
I always Connect with my heart.
243
So I don't have that kind of struggle.
244
No matter how many people fight against it or say you are crazy, That's not difficult for me.
245
It's so crisp.
246
Just go for it.
247
What would be your advice for somebody to Take action.
248
Yeah, I think in order to find the truth of ourself, We need to learn how to quiet ourselves.
249
I think there's many different ways for people to find that stillness.
250
because in Chinese we are saying: "Ting" "Hui" With that stillness, There's a wisdom.
251
coming from that.
252
I think especially in our days, there's so many chaos, so many changes.
253
So this badly need human beings, we regain the capability to enter into that stillness.
254
stage.
255
So maybe people can do meditation, can do dairy, can put themselves into nature.
256
There's different ways.
257
But I think this stillness is... so important.
258
to let her see.
259
clearly from their chaos.
260
was the key.
261
Mm.
262
This is why I, um...
263
why I journal.
264
I think, yeah, a lot of people don't understand They don't know who they are really, they don't know who they want to be, and they don't know how to make the two of those versions the same.
265
So how do you turn who I am today.
266
into who I want to be, you need stillness.
267
You can't find it while you're scrolling, you can't find it while you have notifications all over, you can't find it while your friends are giving their opinions.
268
At the end of the day, it's your choice, right?
269
It's your life.
270
The sponsor of today's video, Masterclass Executive, is here to help you get started before it's too late.
271
It's a 12 week program built for professionals who were not trained to lead through an AI driven shift
272
and are now realizing they need to get ahead of it and not just react to it.
273
Instead of just teaching concepts, Masterclass Executive puts you through real business decisions,
274
evaluates your thinking, and helps you build actual work that shows what you're capable of.
275
The programs are AI native from the ground up, meaning the program will adapt in real time to each participant's pace, role and performance.
276
It works like a personal AI tutor, while maintaining Chicago Booth's high academic standards,
277
and it only costs a fraction of what most higher education degrees would.
278
The instructors include Indra Nui, Mark Cuban, Ray Dalio, and many more.
279
Enrollments will be closing soon and you can apply for free using the QR code or link in the description.
280
Tell me about a failure.
281
A lot of people will talk about successes, but I'm curious on a failure, a hard time that you experienced with this business that you had to get over, that you had to deal with.
282
Is there one that comes to mind there?
283
I think, um.. as a startup.
284
Although I'm a pretty successful entrepreneur, but it's also really hard for me.
285
to get the funding.
286
Especially I remember one investor They already signed you with us.
287
that Funding is so critical.
288
If we don't have that funding, we cannot launch our website.
289
For quite a long time, I couldn't hear about something from that investors.
290
I sense something wrong, I give them a phone call.
291
And he said he didn't want to invest.
292
still remember his face is very cold chemistization.
293
He doesn't want to invest this money.
294
I remember when I was in the plan to fly to Beijing, I wish the plan can never land because I don't know how to face my employees.
295
how to face issues over there.
296
We have to think about the cell cars or sell house, etc. to support the company.
297
moving forward.
298
That's Kando's situation survival movement.
299
What are you thinking at that time?
300
I think there is one shift movement.
301
This point is acceptance.
302
If we ask a lot of why, why they treat me like this, why this is so unfair but happened to me,
303
we put ourselves into that victim area.
304
So it will let you go down and down.
305
But I think the magic word is accept.
306
Once you accept immediately, There is a what.
307
What solutions?
308
what action items, what I can do next, and that become positive if you take action.
309
Who can be an entrepreneur in your opinion?
310
the motivation.
311
If the drawing force is to make money or become famous, then there is hundreds and thousands of reasons you quit.
312
But if that coming from, you know, the deep aspiration or passion, That's the strong, that's the endless energy to feel you.
313
And then I think that's a strong heart.
314
You know, you failed again and again.
315
you You back up.
316
You back up.
317
I think that kind of resilience is important for entrepreneurs.
318
Having a business that starts as an idea and growing it to where you've grown it now, to be doing as much business that you are right now,
319
what would you say are three key pillars of success?
320
I don't want to talk about things.
321
I really would like to say about people.
322
We're so used to a system based on fear, based on competition, based on winner -takes -all,
323
you or me, that mentality.
324
But I think if more people shift to this system where based on kind, love, collaborate, you and me,
325
collective, we can become more successful.
326
That kind of mentality. That start from people.
327
is no longer such a pressure.
328
It's no longer the KPI.
329
It's something from our heart.
330
We enjoy it.
331
It's within us.
332
that essence within every one of us.
333
Okay, so you mentioned you're married?
334
Yeah.
335
How long have you been married for?
336
39 years ago, I met my husband in university.
337
Wow, he's my first boyfriend.
338
And nowadays our marriage is 32.
339
years.
340
Wow.
341
Okay, we're doing the math here.
342
Yeah, doing the math.
343
So you were 18?
344
You were 18 basically?
345
Yeah.
346
It's like we grew up together.
347
100%.
348
Yeah.
349
Still very happy?
350
Well, if you say no, then he won't watch this.
351
But if you say yes, then he'll watch.
352
Reach like in the soul level.
353
Yeah, wear one.
354
Yeah but does have different stages.
355
He recognized me through his eyes, I recognized him through my heart.
356
First day in our university, he met me in the bike shed.
357
This kind of love the first aside for him, but he's not my type around that time.
358
I started to see him from my heart and So 39 years together, a lot of relationships, they don't last even close to that.
359
What's the secret?
360
Firstly, We don't see each other from superficial level, something like the family background, the titles, the wealth.
361
Not like that.
362
We see each other from a deeper level.
363
is loving heart, is kind of person.
364
And then I think the key is we support each other and give each other a space to grow.
365
We never think about change the others.
366
I think we allow ourselves to become ourselves.
367
So you see some examples in the world where people achieve, they make a lot of money, they run a good business, and the marriage that they had ends.
368
I'm just curious on your train of thought as you've gone through how success hasn't changed.
369
who you've been with and how you feel.
370
I asked him the question in his heart, And the person never changed.
371
How?
372
Just the girl he met in the first day.
373
And I think that's it.
374
So I think he's a very smart man.
375
Not only this, But he understood.
376
how to support his partner, to bloom, to become herself.
377
And then she can also build a beautiful garden for him.
378
So both of us We have the so -called safe haven.
379
That's the warm harbor we can return to have that rest.
380
Can you define the word love for me?
381
I think You don't want any.
382
Return?
383
You just allow the others to be calm.
384
themselves.
385
You are always there, depress us.
386
You are there.
387
Your heart is there so they can feel this warm, Yeah, just like honey.
388
I love that.
389
Yeah.
390
Now you filled out part of just a daily journal.
391
And what's so cool, I mean I try to show it in the camera another angle but It's in Mandarin.
392
If you can share what you wrote here.
393
What's on my mind today?
394
Chaos world.
395
To become the stillness, to have the inner grounded is so important.
396
I would like to remind me to be present, to remind me to connect with the source.
397
Your highlight of the day and what you're grateful for.
398
Yeah, and yesterday I really enjoyed the conversation, the discussion, brainstorming with my team.
399
We talk about to build the future.
400
In Chinese, we talk to huayuan, but in English you can call this dream garden to make this inner peace.
401
inner abundance with the outer success.
402
So we're foresee that we're building the new earth, the sustainable earth.
403
Yeah our home garden.
404
On the side of this journal, here you wrote one piece of advice that you would offer to anyone who were to read it.
405
Can you read out what you wrote and explain why that's what you chose to write?
406
Remember, talk to your heart and follow your passion.
407
And along the way, always ask fundamental questions to understand who you really are and live it out.
408
you Thank you so much.
409
Thank you.

O que é a Técnica de Shadowing?
Shadowing é uma técnica de aprendizado de idiomas com base científica, originalmente desenvolvida para o treinamento de intérpretes profissionais. O método é simples, mas poderoso: você ouve áudio em inglês nativo e repete imediatamente em voz alta — como uma sombra seguindo o falante com 1-2 segundos de atraso. Pesquisas mostram melhora significativa na precisão da pronúncia, entonação, ritmo, sons conectados, compreensão auditiva e fluência na fala.
