The 2025 Yabuli China Entrepreneurs Forum opened at the Yabuli Ski Resort in northeast China's Heilongjiang Province on Friday, bringing together more than 240 entrepreneurs from private businesses to discuss ways to cultivate new quality productive forces for high-quality development, with the focus on how artificial intelligence technology can combine with the development of enterprises to form new growth momentum.

The three-day event particularly includes several AI-themed sub-forums held on the sidelines.

"Next, we will connect this childcare large language model to intelligent robots to better interact with children, enabling teachers to focus on basic care and leave the recording of growth, observation and safety to interactive large language model robots. This can greatly save the costs of childcare for families and institutions," said Su Dezhong, chairman of YoKID, a leading childcare brand in China.

"I'm working on a project that applies AI in elderly companionship and the writing of their memoirs, hoping to provide emotional support for the elderly while helping them summarize their life experiences. We have just made an internal beta version and have started inviting elderly people to use it," said Zheng Tingyu, founder of Shenzhen Wenyu Technology Company, a startup based in Shenzhen City of south China's Guangdong Province.

In the financial sector, the introduction of AI large language models can directly improve the efficiency of companies in obtaining loans and reduce operational pressure on manufacturers, according to Mao Sai, chairman of CCX Credit Technology Company, a leading credit technology service provider in China.

"Manufacturing enterprises going on international markets have very extensive needs for credit loans, which require financial institutions, particularly foreign financial institutions, to have understanding of such Chinese enterprises. Traditional approaches like survey and phone call can no longer meet the financial needs of enterprises. With large language models engaged, the rapid credit risk model can provide a quick screening and alignment process for enterprises and financial institutions, helping enterprises obtain loans quickly and smoothly," Mao said.

Founded by a group of Chinese entrepreneurs in 2001, the Yabuli China Entrepreneurs Forum has developed into one of the most influential platforms for entrepreneurs in the country.

The 2026 Emei Mountain Trail Challenge wrapped up Sunday at Mount Emei in Leshan City, southwest China's Sichuan Province.

The event attracted more than 8,000 trail running enthusiasts and professional athletes from 15 countries and regions, including China, the United States, the United Kingdom, and India.

For the first time, the event was held over two weekends. The opening week, held from April 18 to 19, featured shorter distances of 8 km, 18 km, 28 km, and 42 km, designed for amateur and intermediate runners. The second week, held from April 25 to 26, catered to elite athletes with more challenging races of 27 km, 50 km, 75 km, and 102 km.

Runners tackled a variety of challenging terrains such as high alpine trails, dense forests, tea plantations, and flatter sections, while passing iconic landmarks.

In the most demanding 102 km challenge, Chinese athletes Yang Jianjian and Zheng Wen claimed the men's and women's titles respectively. In the 75 km event, China's Zhang Hongfu won the men's division, while American runner Ruby Lindquist secured the women's victory.

"It's very beautiful and everyone is so nice. I was so happy to see the people. They made me feel very supportive. And they were very nice and they clapped for me. And I really like that," said Lindquist.

The event, also known as North Face 100 Ultra Trail Mt. Emei Challenge, was staged on Mount Emei, a UNESCO World Heritage site and one of the four sacred mountains of Chinese Buddhism.
