A new year begins. Throughout the seasons, the Presidents’ quarterly letter has brought us together. Of all the letters, the annual New Year’s message is undoubtedly the most anticipated. It looks back on our journey over the past year and contains the Presidents’ high hopes and best wishes. This year, in addition to a letter, the Presidents have also shared a special video message from Shanghai and Chicago. Let us once again revisit the most memorable moments from 2020 and set out for 2021 with gratitude and joy!
