Zhang's entrepreneurial dream originated from his experience operating a personal social media account. In his sophomore year, he participated in the annual Tell Guangzhou's Story Well competition organized by the Cyberspace Administration of Guangzhou's Personal Media Union, and his team won first prize.

After leaving campus, Zhang officially embarked on the entrepreneurial path. Like him, all members of the company are from Hong Kong. The company focuses on producing and managing new media content, including corporate promotion, special advertisements, event shooting, short-video production, and planning and operation of Douyin (Chinese TikTok) video accounts.

Today, Zhang's team provides short video account planning and operation services for well-known enterprises such as Linktou, Mingyuan Cloud and Huawei, and also produces online courses for institutions like the Guangdong Cultural Center.

Guangzhou has many preferential policies for startup teams, Zhang said, and there are many support measures that can help connect financing and projects. In an open, inclusive environment that encourages innovation, Zhang's team has solidly progressed on its entrepreneurial journey.
