Yu Chengdong: Perseverance and brilliance in tears

Yu Chengdong: Perseverance and brilliance in tears

In front of the CCTV camera, a middle-aged man's eyes were red, and tears were rolling in his eyes, but in the end he didn't hold back and slipped down. This is not a simple crying scene, but a microcosm of an era, an entrepreneur's emotional release under pressure. He is Yu Chengdong, Executive Director of Huawei, Chairman of the Device BG, and Chairman of the Intelligent Vehicle Solution BU.

In 1969, Yu Chengdong was born in an ordinary peasant family in Huoqiu County, Lu'an City, Anhui Province. When he was young, he experienced the baptism of hunger and poverty, and grew up with batter and his younger brother's milk. In his memory, it was common for his cotton trouser legs to be exposed and his hands and feet to freeze, but even so, his thirst for knowledge was never extinguished. He saved money to buy books, and used his knowledge to light a lamp of hope for himself.

In 1988, Yu Chengdong was admitted to Northwestern Polytechnical University with the first place in science and engineering in the county's college entrance examination, and two years later he was admitted to the Department of Wireless Communication of Tsinghua University for graduate studies. This study experience not only laid a solid foundation for his future career, but also made him deeply appreciate the power of knowledge to change his destiny.

Yu Chengdong joined Huawei in 1993 and started as a low-level technician. He participated in the development of Huawei's first-generation digital program-controlled switches and witnessed Huawei's glorious journey from scratch. In 1997, he led the team to launch Huawei's main GSM products, breaking Huawei's situation of zero GSM patents and making Huawei begin to emerge in the domestic market. In 1998, he led the team to participate in the formulation of 3G international standards, and became a member and one of the main contributors to the standard-setting organization, opening up the situation for Huawei in the international market.

Yu Chengdong has an almost fanatical pursuit of technology. In 2008, he led the team to develop the fourth-generation base station, which established Huawei's dominant position in wireless with revolutionary product upgrades. Every time he innovates in technology, it is like putting a pair of wings on Huawei, allowing Huawei to fly higher and farther in the field of communications.

In 2010, Yu Chengdong transferred from the wireless product line to the terminal business. At that time, Huawei's mobile phones ranked around 10th in the world, with almost no brand influence. However, under the leadership of Yu Chengdong, Huawei's mobile phones have realized the transformation from B2B to B2C, from OBM white label to Huawei's own brand, and expanded from low-end products to mid-to-high-end fields. In 2012, he made a bold decision: to give up the business of OEM mobile phones for operators and insist on being Huawei's own brand.

This decision has made Huawei mobile phones achieve a qualitative leap in a short period of time. In 2019, Huawei's mobile phones achieved the first place in domestic sales and the second place in global sales. Behind this is Yu Chengdong's insistence on independent brands and keen insight into market trends.

However, just as Huawei made brilliant achievements in the terminal business, it was sanctioned by United States. This is undoubtedly a heavy blow to Huawei, and it is also a huge test for Yu Chengdong. In an interview with CCTV, when asked about the impact of the sanctions, Yu Chengdong's eyes turned red and tears rolled down. This is his deep grievance and helplessness, and it is also his worry and expectation for Huawei's future.

However, even under such pressure, Yu Chengdong did not choose to give in. He led the Huawei team to continue to insist on independent R&D and innovation, and strive to find ways to break through sanctions. He is well aware that only by insisting on independent innovation can Huawei remain invincible in the fierce market competition.

In 2019, Yu Chengdong led Huawei to enter the automotive market. He and his team focus on incremental components for the connected vehicle industry, providing services to automotive customers and industry partners. Huawei has carried out in-depth cooperation with a number of car companies and achieved remarkable results.

In the field of smart cars, Yu Chengdong also showed his tenacity and responsibility. He is well aware that smart cars are the future development trend and a new growth point for Huawei. Therefore, he leads the Huawei team to continuously overcome technical problems and promote the development of smart cars.

"Under heavy pressure, we must insist on independent innovation and use technology to make the complex world simpler." This is Yu Chengdong's words in the face of sanctions. This sentence not only reflects his tenacity and responsibility, but also points out the direction for us in the future.

"Only by constantly challenging oneself can we surpass oneself; Only by continuous innovation can we lead the future. This is a summary of Yu Chengdong's development history at Huawei. This sentence applies not only to Huawei, but also to everyone on the road to pursuing their dreams and success.

"The tenacity in the tears has created Huawei's brilliance; The infinite possibilities of the future are waiting for us to explore and create. "This is my evaluation of Yu Chengdong and Huawei. In the future, I believe that Yu Chengdong and Huawei will continue to innovate independently, challenge themselves, and create more brilliance and miracles.

Yu Chengdong, an entrepreneur who came out of hardship, is a person who writes Huawei's brilliance with tenacity and responsibility. His tears are not only memories of the past and expectations for the future, but also the inheritance and development of Huawei's spirit. In the future, let us look forward to Yu Chengdong and Huawei continuing to create more brilliance and miracles, and contribute more to the development of China's science and technology. At the same time, let us also pay tribute to this great entrepreneur, learn from his tenacity and responsibility, and work together for a better future.
