It Is a Very Emotional Day at Alibaba Because...

On his last day before retiring, Alibabas Jack Ma returned to the company to visit his colleagues. What was once a mere familiar entry into the building quickly turned into a mad crowd of fans surrounding his every move, as if he were the rockstar of his own concert. Staff took their phones in a flash to try and snap a picture of the Chinese e-commerce titan.

The date was September 9. A date Alibaba staff will forever remember.

At only 55 years old on today, September 10 - which happens to be Teachers Day - Jack Ma is officially stepping down as Chairman of Alibaba. He is expected to remain on the boards of directors until the companys annual meeting in 2020, after which he will be named a permanent partner of Alibaba.

Although it hasnt been confirmed, there will most likely be a handover ceremony on the same day as Jack Mas official retirement between him and CEO Daniel Zhang (Zhang Yong) at Alibabas 20th anniversary party in Hangzhou.

Ever since its inception in 1999, Alibaba has grown into China's most valuable Internet companies, with an impressive portfolio of homegrown brands that includes Taobao, Tmall, Alipay, and delivery service Eleme among other products and services. Its wide range of core businesses, such as cloud computing, digital media and entertainment, business innovation, and ecological services, affects all aspects of Chinese peoples lives, from travel and shopping to paying for water and electricity bills.

During his 20-year tenure at Alibaba, Jack Ma coined many "new words", which have exerted a profound influence on modern society and penetrated the lives of common folks.

Following his departure, the Alibaba team braces itself for heavy duties and responsibilities to take over. But one thing is certain: its journey is far from being over.

Memories: Take a trip down memory lane with a beautiful collection of photos from the past 20 years at Alibaba.

Thank you, Jack Ma.

Block vs. Delete on WeChat: What's the Difference?

There seems to have been a lot of confusion around the difference between the Block and Delete functions on WeChat, so we decided to publish an article to break it down. 1. Block Blocking someone on WeChat allows you to continue sending them messages, but they can no longer reply to your messages. This means that you will not be receiving any messages from them, and will not be seeing anything that they post on your Moments anymore either. However, your chat history is not completely deleted unless you choose to do so. In the event that someone blocks you, WeChat will send you the following notification: Of course, we all change our minds from time to time, which is why its easy to you to remove the person youve blocked from your blacklist, which will allow them to send you messages again. Rest assured, they wont know that they were on your blacklist in the first place. U
