国家高速发展了30年后，大家都认识到一个问题：住宅最能反映人最基本的功能、诉求、尺度，以及一些最本质的需求和内在属性。现在我们更希望能为社会充满活力，去做出自己的贡献。住宅市场相对来说越来越成熟，大家关注到中国客户的需求才是最重要的，比如说中国人喜欢阳光，喜欢热闹，喜欢有聚合感的空间。所以武汉的项目我们充分考虑到：生活在这样一个非常奔放、泼辣的城市，我们希望能够有多元化和偶发性的空间元素。最后发现客户对项目还是非常认可的，这就是武汉人想要的房子。

After 30 years of rapid national development, everyone recognizes that residences can best reflect the most basic human functions, aspirations, and scales. Some of our most essential needs and intrinsic properties, now we want to make our society exuberant. The residence market is becoming relatively more mature. People begin to realize that the top priority is to focus on the needs of Chinese customers. For example, Chinese people enjoy the sunshine and the excitement. We like spaces that feel cohesive. So, in the project in Wuhan, we are taking these into full account. Wuhan is a relatively wild, and a ‘pungent’ city. We want this project to contain a space that allows diversity and occasionalism. It turned out to be very well received by the client. ‘Ah, this is the house we want in Wuhan!’

从我当时来说，选择了建筑这条路，我觉得还是挺开心的。清华的校训伴我一生：自强不息，厚德载物。自强不息这点我体会很深了，1999年我刚毕业来到上海，外企对我们的冲击非常大，当时中国设计师能够做方案的非常少。我觉得清华教给我最多的，就是务实踏实地去面对一切，面对所有的现实，在中国有限的条件下做有限的设计，但是仍然热爱这个行业。我工作了9年然后再创业的，我自认为是比较有耐心的一个人，我觉得有了一定的经验可以实施这个想法之后，才会去做这件事。当时我创业的年代，整个中国的设计行业主动意识还没有完全被唤醒，相当于大部分设计师还不能自我驱动去解决很多问题，或者说缺乏自己去创造策略的意识。

From my point of view. I’m very glad that I’ve chose this path. Tsinghua has two characteristics, which is in its motto, ’self-discipline and social commitment’. I've learned a lot about self-discipline. In fact, when I first graduated in 1999 and came to Shanghai. The impact of foreign companies on us is enormous. There were very few Chinese architects who could make Scheme projects. I think what Tsinghua taught me the most is to be pragmatic and practical about everything. Facing all the realities, doing limited architecture under limited conditions in China. But still love this industry.

I worked for nine years before starting up my own business. I think I'm a patient man. And I would make sure that I could implement my idea with my experience. Before doing it, when I started my own company, it was a time when the whole architecture industry in China. Hasn’t gained its own initiative. Pretty much most architects still don't want to work their brains. Or to take the initiative to be self-driven to solve problems or have a sense of creating your own strategy.

所以我期盼睿风睿智的睿，希望能够带来一股比较清新的风气。成立之初，我就立下我们的原则：希望做中国最顶尖的设计公司之一。其实我刚创业的时候就碰到了金融危机，当时自己也是抱着破釜沉舟的这种心理准备，把它熬过去。

So, I think... Our company name ‘RUI’ in Chinese means smart. I hope to bring a telegraphic atmosphere into the industry. When we were founded, I laid down our principles. We want to become one of the best architecture firms in China. We came across the financial crisis when we first started out. At that time, I was prepared to sink my own boat. to get it over with.

有无数次想过放弃，第二天早上醒来之后决定还是接着干吧。2010年、2013年也都碰到行业的低谷期，我们认为每一次低谷期，恰恰就是你在崛起之前，打基础的时候，那时候要苦练内功，因为中国现在节奏很快，很少有人能够静下心来去阅读、去思考。中国有巨大的变化，至少我们在参与改变，而且能很清楚看到这个变化，这是最让我能够坚持下去的原因。我作为一个天生的摩羯座，工作狂，我工作起来基本忘了其他所有的事，所以我也特别感谢我的家人能够体谅，长期包容，对我支持。

For countless times, I wake up in the morning, after battling the idea of giving up and went back to work again. The industry was in the doldrums again from 2010 to 2013. We believe that every downturn. Is where we are going to lay down a base. When laying the foundation, it is time for us to enrich our minds. Because at the fast pace of life in China now. How many people can really calm down? To read, to think. Not many. It's fair to say that China has changed dramatically. I think at least we're a part of changing the world. And the change is obvious. This is my biggest motivation to keep on going. I was born as a Capricorn. A workaholic. I pretty much forget about everything else when I'm working. So, I'm especially grateful to my family for being so understanding for bearing with me, supporting me.
