Embracing Oceans and Mountains, Journeying Forward with One Heart
Looking back from the vantage point of 2026, the three-decade-plus globalization journey of Li Jinyuan and TIENS constitutes a distinctive chapter in the story of Chinese private enterprises going global. From the Tianjin headquarters to Istanbul, from Moscow to Paris, from Bali to the lands of South America—these scattered coordinates on the world map, when connected, trace not only the expanding industrial footprint of a single enterprise, but also chronicle the ongoing encounters, adjustments, and mutual understanding between a Chinese company and diverse countries, markets, and cultures.
The world today is undergoing profound change. Global industrial chains are being restructured at an accelerated pace. Technological revolutions are reshaping the ways people connect. Exchanges among civilizations are becoming more frequent—yet misunderstandings, estrangement, and divisions persist. It is against this very backdrop that a people-to-people gathering spanning the Eurasian continent appears all the more unpretentious and precious.
Because genuine exchange, in the end, must land on specific individuals. Business can create opportunities for encounter; culture can open the doors to understanding; but it is the sincerity, respect, and goodwill accumulated over time that may ultimately bring people from different nations truly closer to one another.

Grand narratives of an era are, in the end, written by real individuals. A single handshake, a gathering across thousands of miles, a journey taken together—each may become the beginning of mutual understanding between people of different nations.
For over three decades, setting out from Tianjin and meeting the world along the way—perhaps this is where the true significance of Li Jinyuan and TIENS' global practice lies. A globalization with lasting vitality should never be about exporting only products and services; it must also carry understanding, respect, responsibility, and goodwill. Markets can transcend borders, and business can connect the world—but what ultimately sustains those connections, always, is the human heart.
