He highlights DeepSeek CEO Liang Wenfeng rejecting 996 culture.
My trip to China earlier this year was in part to confirm the false dichotomy that you can either work like a SF guy or chill like an European guy. Internet debates makes you think it has to be either-or Hangzhou is both rolled into one city. You can have your cake and eat it too

One of Wenfeng's defining personality traits seems to be "absolute lack of concern for social expectations". He's not antisocial, but he doesn't have a lot of patience for the more neurotic aspects of Chinese culture. 996 grind, "do applications", risk avoidance. Screw it.

@_chenglou It's been a while since I was in Hangzhou. My last trip to Hangzhou was in 2017-18 at the Ant Financial office. I guess lots of things might have changed there.
@teortaxesTex I think he and Xi Jinping are similar in that patience of his in doing what he thinks that is right and ignores all the mockery he gets. And he doesn’t like talking to others.
