on september 23, the countdown to the 2025 “friends of time” new year’s eve speech entered 100 days.

luo zhenyu, founder of the duoduo app, announced that this year's new year's eve speech will be co-produced with shenzhen satellite tv. it will be held at the hangzhou olympic sports center gymnasium on the evening of december 31, 2024, with shenzhen satellite tv broadcasting it simultaneously.

since its inception in 2015, the "friends of time" new year's eve speech has accompanied the audience for nine years, and this year will usher in the tenth session. the 20-year journey is about to pass the halfway point. on that day, under the guidance of the hangzhou culture and tourism bureau, the getapp and the hangzhou convention and exhibition group jointly held a live broadcast of "100 days countdown to the new year's eve speech·luo zhenyu takes you for a stroll around the west lake in hangzhou" as the launch ceremony of the 2025 "friends of time" new year's eve speech.

speaking of this year's theme, luo zhenyu said that everything was extremely difficult at the time, and there were many moments when he felt like he couldn't get through it. but looking back, it was nothing, and even now when he talks about it, he still thinks it's an interesting topic of conversation.

"the 'accidents' that seemed extremely difficult at the time turned out to be 'stories' that made people smile knowingly afterwards. the so-called hardships are actually part of achievement." luo zhenyu said, "2024 is the tenth year of the new year's eve speech, and it is also a year that many people feel is not easy. but we know in our hearts that as long as we stand in the future, the world will become lovely. therefore, the theme of our speech this year is: good news from the future."

the "friends of time" new year's eve speech has been held in beijing, shenzhen, wuhan, chengdu, shanghai and other cities, and will be held in hangzhou for the first time at the end of this year. luo zhenyu said that the main reason for choosing hangzhou is that hangzhou is a city that never lies down. entrepreneurs here are always energetic. they are always racking their brains to figure out where the next opportunity is and where the next wave is. they will never be depressed and never lie down.

this spiritual core is very consistent with luo zhenyu and his "friends of time" new year's eve speech. in the past 9 years, no matter what difficulties they encountered, luo zhenyu and his team never interrupted a new year's eve speech.

in addition, in luo zhenyu's view, hangzhou has a history and culture accumulation of more than one thousand years, and its ancient cultural charm has reached the point of being "too rich to be dissolved."

during the live broadcast, lou yijie, party secretary and director of hangzhou municipal bureau of culture, radio, film and tourism, also appeared in the live broadcast room and introduced the city's cultural and tourism business card "hangzhou, the soulmate" to luo zhenyu and nearly one million viewers in the live broadcast room. hangzhou after the asian games has become a highland of "concert economy" and "tournament economy", and countless young people have gone to this city because of their love of music. in order to better promote the "concert economy", hangzhou culture and tourism has taken the lead in creating many street music markets, such as the three major music markets of "hangzhou wonderful night", creating a city atmosphere of "love music" and "singing everywhere" in hangzhou; another important goal in life is to find like-minded people and meet soulmates. for thousands of years, countless touching stories of searching for soulmates have been staged by the west lake, and hangzhou is also a city of "searching for soulmates".

in addition, financial writer wu xiaobo also appeared in the live broadcast room and walked around the west lake with luo zhenyu, introducing the beautiful scenery and historical stories of his hometown to the audience in the live broadcast room.

during the six-hour live broadcast, luo zhenyu led nearly one million viewers in the live broadcast room to immersively tour the entire west lake attractions, including su causeway, xiling seal society, wenlan pavilion, bai su temple, pinghu autumn moon, bai causeway, etc. luo zhenyu said that he hopes to pay tribute to hangzhou with such an action, and also pay tribute to thousands of years of chinese culture.

after watching the live broadcast, many viewers said that luo zhenyu and the 2025 "friends of time" new year's eve speech will further inspire their confidence in the future, and stimulate new vitality in this "city of soulmates", helping hangzhou's cultural tourism to show more charm.
