Character evaluation
When I first met Dr. Wang Jian, I was shocked by his understanding of the future development of Internet technology. I felt that it was too late to meet. At the group strategy meeting for the first time, I heard the doctor talk about the future data era, and marveled at his understanding and persistence of data technology. That's why Ali has today's technology layout We have criticized and considered the doctor's way of management, communication and execution, but in any case, what we see is a modest, pure and positive boy. (comments by Ma Yun, founder of Alibaba Group)
Wang Jian is one of the few people who saw the Internet so thoroughly in the early days. His understanding and interpretation of the Internet, data and computing directly hit the essence through impetuous comments and evaluations. He is more like a philosopher and prophet in the technology circle, drawing a blueprint for the breakthrough of technology and the future of mankind. (Zhejiang news online review)
Before Alibaba cloud's success, some people called Wang Jian a "freak" and more often called him a "liar". In fact, Wang Jian is an explorer who has the courage to devote himself to scientific research and never give up. Looking at the brilliant achievements Wang Jian has made from Hangzhou University to today, he deserves to be elected academician this time. (overseas online review)
