It was reported earlier yesterday that Wang Huiwen, co-founder of Beijing Lightyear Beyond Technology Co., Ltd. (hereinafter referred to as "Lightyear Beyond"), had a personal health problem in May and left his post for medical treatment after diagnosis.。

According to public information, the company was founded in 2018 and is 100% owned by Wang Huiwen.。Light years away is the focus of Wang Huiwen's recent work.。Wang Huiwen hopes to use this company to enter the AI field and create a Chinese version of OpenAI。The company, which is funded by Wang Huiwen for $50 million, said it only accounts for 25 percent of the shares and the remaining 75 percent will be used to invite top R & D talent。He also claimed that the next round of financing has been subscribed by the top VC 2..300 million dollars。Wang Xing has also previously announced his personal participation in Round A investments outside of Lightyear and has become a director.。

It is reported that Wang Huiwen for light years outside the recruitment of talents including Beijing Zhiyuan Artificial Intelligence Research Institute Vice President Liu Jiang, "father of Sogou input method" Ma Zhankai and so on.。In addition to recruiting talents, Lightyear also takes stakes in AI startups。The company took a stake in Beijing First-Class Technology Co., Ltd. (hereinafter referred to as "First-Class Technology") in April, with a shareholding of approximately 47%.。First-class technology was founded in 2017, is an AI architecture startup, with the core product OneFlow deep learning framework。At present, Wang Huiwen has replaced Yuan Jinhui, the founder of first-class technology, as the legal representative of the company.。

The industry is not surprised by Wang Huiwen's entry into the AI field to start a new round of entrepreneurship, because Wang Huiwen has always been an entrepreneurial talent.。He and Wang Xing were college roommates at Tsinghua University, and in the early days of the rise of the Internet in China, they worked together to start a business, and they co-founded Intranet, later Renren.。Later, Wang Huiwen came out to work alone and founded Taofang.。In 2010, Wang Huiwen joined the American League and once again fought side by side with Wang Xing.。During his stay in Meituan, he was responsible for or participated in group buying, takeout, bike sharing and other businesses, and was a veritable "number two person" of Meituan.。

In 2020, Wang Huiwen, then senior vice president, reduced his holdings of 2 million shares of Meituan and announced his retirement from Meituan.。As for the reasons for his retirement, he said in an internal email at the time, "I have not been able to handle the relationship between work and family and health well: nor have I been able to handle the relationship between the concentration required to run a business and the scattered and unstable interests of the individual: the pain of not loving management but having to do it is also growing: I have also been worried that life is dominated by inertia and have missed the different highlights by neglecting the familiar。"Later, Wang Huiwen was converted from an executive director of Meituan to a non-executive director.。

After more than two years of silence, Wang Huiwen entered the AI field to start a new entrepreneurial journey.。The 45-year-old Wang Huiwen took the initiative to "lighten the burden" for himself this time due to personal health reasons, and chose to resign from the position of Meituan between Meituan and Lightyear, which shows that he is still determined to choose his new entrepreneurial field.。The entrepreneurial circle veteran's "entrepreneurial heart" can be seen。Just light years away is in the early stages of team formation, the temporary departure of the "manager" is not yet known to affect the team geometry。
