2026 MaHui | Founders' Honest Words to Their 2026 Selves
In the corridor leading into MaHui's main venue, passing entrepreneurs would always be drawn to the answer boards lining both sides, stopping to look. Many CEOs, after reading them, would post on WeChat Moments with the same caption: "Heartfelt words. Deeply relatable."
Walking through the corridor leading into MaHui's main venue, entrepreneurs passing by couldn't help but be drawn to the answer boards lining both sides, stopping to read. Many CEOs, after finishing, went out of their way to post on WeChat Moments with the same caption — "Heartfelt words. Deeply relatable."
This came from an idea during this year's MaHui preparation. When discussing content design, we hoped that beyond the stage presentations, we could also surface more of the CEOs' own perspectives. Especially now, with AI so profoundly reshaping everything — we wanted to see how this group of entrepreneurs viewed the future, and how they viewed themselves.
So, with a let's-try-it attitude, we posed two questions to every attending CEO:
Over the next 3–5 years, what one change in the era are you most certain about?
What do you most want to say to yourself 3–5 years from now?
One question faces outward, the other inward. One is a judgment on the world; the other, a monologue to oneself.
From all the responses, we selected 27 — the same 27 that appeared in MaHui's "Corridor of Answers" on site — hoping they might resonate with you too, wherever you're reading this.
