附:黄峥致股东信中文全文

What time? 今夕何夕?

今年 2 月,COVID-19 作为一个新词汇在全球家喻户晓,并颠覆了我们的日常生活。就在我书写这封信的时刻,世界上仍有一半的人蜗居家中,无助地等待着引发全球危机的小小病毒尽快消失。等待之初,我们急切盼望生活能够重回正轨;而越来越漫长的等待,则让我们逐渐忘记了时间。

今天,我们正身处怎样的时间之中?时间又究竟是什么?

对人类来说,这是一个危机的时刻,流言和混乱四起,人们因不同的理念意见而产生分裂,甚至是对抗。这是一个百年不遇的特殊时刻,不过也许它也只不过是历史长河中一个再平常不过的片刻。

病毒是大自然向人类派出的危险 “信使”。出于生存本能,我们竭尽所能地调动自身的机体能量与之对抗。这种对抗的副产品是伤及自身甚至致命。很快,激战从单个生物体蔓延至整个社会有机体,不同大小不同类型的公司、政府和国家,都在用自己的方式对抗这一威胁,其副产品也是不可避免地伤及自身。

这一切只是源于一个几乎看不见,离开宿主都无法复制的病毒。一个携带了一些信息(RNA)和很少能量的小小 “信使” 而已。这和数十年来我们担忧的原子能威胁形成了鲜明的对比。一朵可以升腾出巨大能量的乌云,与自身几乎毫无能量的 “信使”,谁会给人类造成更大、更持久的危害?

这真是如幻如梦…… 这是大自然给我们的一个启示?一个教导?抑或是对我们的惩罚,还是救赎?也许,仅仅是大自然和人类开的一个小小的玩笑?

Time for new 新生之时

当爱因斯坦写下他著名的方程式 时,他优雅地(某种意义上,也可以说是傲慢地)描绘了他脑海中的物质世界。但他并没有解释那描绘物质世界的精神世界与客观物质世界之间的关系,也没有解释能量与信息之间的关系。

今天,全世界都处在一种常规的反常中。成万上亿的人被迫困在家中,与亲朋好友分离。然而,我们又同时通过某种精神和情感连结在一起。这种关系也影响着我们所能感知到的物理世界。虚拟世界和物理世界之间的边界前所未有地模糊,我们开始看到(而不仅仅是想象)一个新的世界正在走来。或者,更精准地说,是一个全新的人类世界正在走来。在这个新世界中,“虚拟现实” 一词已经过时。现实和虚拟可以相互转换,现实变得虚幻,虚幻却是现实一种。同样,人类物质与精神需求之间的分别也愈发模糊。

当这个微小的病毒进入人类世界时,它就像试管中的催化剂一样,加速了新世界的形成。过去世界的某些维度在被重构,一些规则也在被改写。这股席卷全球的力量将从根本上永久地改变我们所生存的世界。就像我在前面两封致股东信中解释 “拼多多的诞生” 时所述,新物种将会以和从前完全不一样的样子在新的土壤中孕育和生长。现在,正是世界萌发新生,重新构建的时候。

Feel the time 感受时间

Time with an arrow/direction 时间的方向

人类一直努力地用我们所掌握的逻辑和原理,试图理解和控制世界。在许多事情上,我们确实成功过,比如科学。在科学的世界里,我们试图从客观物质世界里抽离出来,以超然的上帝视角来进行 “客观” 的观察、理解,并通过有限的方程式来定义这个客观物质世界。在这样的框架中,时间变成了方程式 -t = (-)t 中的一个可逆参数。它只是描述物体在按预定轨迹运动的方程式中的一个参数而已。

但是,当一个渺小的病毒把我们从幻梦中惊醒,我们发现人类并没有凌驾于世界之上,仅仅是这个被观察的世界中的一个可忽略不计的组成部分而已。我们唯一能做的,是停下手中的一切,等待时间流逝,感受时间流过的痕迹。

我们进而意识到,时间很可能不应该是方程式中的一个可逆参数,它更像是一个不可逆的向量。它是一股强大的有方向的力量,默默地驱动着我们所见所感的一切事物。无论我们多么固执地渴求着对称和永恒,时间总是在不断制造着世间种种的不对称、不可逆以及死亡。

热力学第一定律(∆U = Q-W)给予了我们一定的控制感和确定性,而热力学第二定律(∆S> = 0)又使我们谦卑地认识到有另外一种存在,在力和质量组成的物理世界之外。熵(S)与信息有关,我不确定熵是否连接着精神世界,但它确实可以帮助我感受和理解时间。时间不应该只是物理世界里一个可逆的变量,或是孤立的存在于精神的想象,沉默而永不停息的它更像是在物质和精神世界表象背后的那股强大的有方向的不可逆的驱动力。

Time, crowd and uncertainty 时间、人群和不确定性

当牛顿最早揭示 F = M(dV / dT)时,它让我们有了 “可以控制世界” 的错觉,或至少给了我们可以掌控力量的某些理解和暗示。我们不再感到担心,因为每个物体都可由其位置、质量、速度和作用力来计算出轨迹。我们假设每个物体的过去的所有历史都已经被其当前状态所完全包含,并且每个物体都是独立的。在这样的假设下,大量物体之间的大量交互随着时间的推移将变得愈发复杂、混乱,也会表现得不确定和随机。时间之矢好像创造了混乱和不确定。而所谓概率,是对大量相互作用下的确定性的物体的轨迹集合的一个近似统计描述。

但是,当我们被隔离在家中,在焦虑和不安的情绪中等待时,我们开始怀疑 “每个物体之间的相互独立性” 是否真的是我们在试图理解和解释世界时的一个正确的假设。在我们对确定性的渴望中,我们选择性地接受了诸如 “物体间的独立性” 这样的简单假设,以帮助我们解释复杂的世界。我们的渴望是如此的强烈以至于让我们开始相信这就是真理。

但是,如果概率和随机性本来就是每个物体的天然属性呢?如果大量的物体在本质上就是相互交织和关联的呢?就像我们的人类社会一样,无论每个个体有多独立,我们都在真实和虚拟的世界中,通过相互关联而定义自我的存在。由于物体存在这些内在联系,试图屏蔽物体之间的关联,研究孤立个体的方法也就不再能够那么有效。相反,我们看到,时间推移下的个体间大量互动反而成为一种为社会和世界带来秩序和确定性的力量。我们再一次感受到了时间的力量和魔力。

Seize the time 把握今朝

当新型冠状病毒席卷全球时,每个机体都不得不面对大自然带来的残酷挑战。相对年轻的人或许心存一些侥幸与慰藉。这并不是说我们要在 “危” 中讨巧得利。任何妄图趁人之危或利用漏洞使自身受益的想法,在时间面前显得异常愚蠢,无异于一个狂妄的赌徒试图在赌场上赢过时间。

相反,我们感受到了需要更加努力工作的冲动和动力。这是因为我们比以往任何时候都更理解和珍惜宝贵的青春。我们越发意识到我们应尽的责任。我们需要证明我们这一代人的与时俱进和与以往不同。在这个新世界中,新物种和新生物必将诞生并茁壮成长。

大自然的蓬勃发展和趋势不会因为任何个人意志而改变。理解这些自然规则不应该让我们感到优越,更不可能让我们有能力统治自然。相反,这使我们能够谦卑地认识和承认,我们只不过是世界自然演变过程中的沧海一粟罢了。

恰如一位诗人写道:“我冷眼向过去稍稍回顾,只见它曲折灌溉的悲喜,都消失在一片亘古的荒漠。这才知道我的全部努力,不过完成了普通的生活。”

带着这样的视角,我们既感到无比的谦卑和平静,又无比感恩于拥有的宝贵青春和担负着的重大责任。因此,我们将更加坚定地投资未来,努力建设面前的新世界。在这新世界中,我们的美好旅程才刚刚开始。

以下为致股东信英文原文:

LETTER TO SHAREHOLDERS

What time?

In February, the world learned a new word, “COVID-19”, which upended our lives. As I write this, half of the world remains confined at home, waiting for the tiny virus that causes COVID-19 to leave us. During the early days of the outbreak, as we waited in solidarity, we eagerly hoped to return to normal. But as the world has been put on hold week after week, we start to forget time.

We cannot help but ask ourselves, what is the time we are in now and what is time?

We are in a time of crisis – of division, misinformation, and chaos. The virus has caused countless conflicts and contrasts as we watch the news around us and worldwide. It is an unprecedented time to most of us. Yet if we put it in the context of the human history, it might just be a normal incident, a drop in the ocean.

This virus is a messenger by Mother Nature. Out of self-protection and preservation, our bodies desperately fought it using all the strength and energy available. Soon enough, the war against this seemingly unstoppable virus extended from our own bodies to the broader organisms that make up our society (if we see every institution as a living organism made up of people and relationships with a mission and purpose). Companies, governments, countries, big and small, are all scrambling in their own ways to combat this life-threatening virus. In these attempts, we possibly have unintentionally introduced more damage to ourselves.

These all started with an almost invisible virus, a tiny messenger carrying some information (RNA) and a negligible amount of energy that, independent of a host, cannot even replicate. It is in stark contrast with nuclear threat, the power we feared for decades. Which is more capable of greater and more prolonged damage to our human society then - a mushroom cloud representing massive destructive energy, or a “messenger” with virtually no energy?

We cannot help but wonder if this is a lesson purposefully delivered, a punishment, a redemption, or simple irony? No matter what it is, it is surreal to me.

Time for new

When Einstein wrote down his famous E = MC2, he elegantly (in some sense also arrogantly) depicted a physical world in his mind. However, what he did not explain in his theory of relativity is the relationship between the human mind and the physical world, nor the relationship between energy and information.

Today, in this bizarre time, millions of people are staying at home, physically cut off from their families and friends. Yet we are connected and unified in spirit through shared sentiment, which in turn affects the physical world. The boundaries between the virtual and physical worlds are unprecedentedly blurred, and we are beginning to see (not just envision) a new world. In this new world, the phrase “virtual reality” is obsolete. Reality has become virtual and virtual has become part of reality. Similarly, the distinction between humanity’s physical needs and spiritual needs is also becoming vague.

When this tiny virus was dropped into our world, it acted just like a catalyst in a test tube, accelerating the formation of a whole new world. Inevitably, some dimensions of the previous world are being restructured, some rules are being rewritten. The impact of this sweeping force will fundamentally and permanently change the world we are in now. Just like what I explained in the previous shareholder letters about PDD’s formation, new models are bound to emerge and grow in a whole new setup. We are indeed seeing the phasing out of some as new ones emerge. It is the time of reestablishment.

Feel the time

1.Time with an arrow/direction

Human beings have long used reason to try to understand and control the world. In many cases, we succeeded, for example, science. In science, we strive to detach ourselves from the physical world we are in, to watch it as if we are a higher being “objectively” observing, understanding, and defining the world into a finite number of equations. In this framework, time is a reversible parameter in the equation -t = (-)t. It is merely a parameter in an equation to describe a predetermined trajectory of an object.

However, when an almost invisible virus awoken us to the reality that we are not above the world, but just a negligible part of the world to be observed, the only thing we can do is to sit still and let time carry its course. We then realize time is not really a parameter in an equation, but an irreversible vector. It is a silent and relentless directional force driving everything we see and feel. It effortlessly creates asymmetry, irreversibility and mortality, no matter how stubbornly and desperately we yearn for symmetry and immortality.

While the first law of thermodynamics (∆U = Q-W) gives us a sense of control and certainty, the second law (∆S ≥ 0) humbles us to acknowledge the unknown beyond just force and mass we used to define our physical world. Entropy (S) also relates to information. I am not sure if entropy relates to the spiritual world, but it does help us feel and comprehend time. Again, it is not a reversible parameter, but a silent and irreversible driving force beyond and behind both the physical and the spiritual world.

2.Time, crowd and uncertainty

When Newton revealed F = M(dV/dT), it gave us a delusive sense of control, or at least it allowed our wishful thinking that we can finally harness force. We no longer have to worry, because every object has a calculable trajectory determined by its position, mass, velocity and force. We assume each object’s current state fully encompasses and explains its past and that each object is independent. With that, large number of interactions among large number of objects over time would increase complexity and appear chaotic and uncertain, hence probabilistic. It seems that time has created this chaos and uncertainty. And probability is just a statistical aggregation of the trajectories of a large number of objects.

However, when we are isolated at home, waiting with anxiety and unsettling emotions, we start to doubt whether the notion of each object being independent is really a valid assumption in our attempt to understand and explain the world. In our yearning for certainty, we have conveniently chosen to accept some assumptions, such as independence among each object, that can help us explain the world. Our desire for certainty is so strong that we start believing it is truth.

But what if probability is a fundamental feature of each object, rather than a result of statistical aggregation? What if the large number of objects is intrinsically intertwined and interrelated? Just like our human society, no matter how independent each individual is, we are intrinsically connected both physically and spiritually. And these connections define who we are and our existence.

Because of these connections, the divide-and-conquer approach is no longer effective to reduce uncertainty. Instead, we see the large number of interactions among individuals over time becoming a force that brings order and certainty to the society. Again, we feel the force and magic of time.

Seize the time

When COVID-19 swept the earth, every organism was confronted with the brutal reality of Mother Nature. Some of us who are relatively young cannot help but to feel grateful and lucky. This is not to say that we see an opportunity to take advantage of during the crisis. In fact, I despise the saying “don’t waste a crisis”. A crisis is a crisis. Nobody can come out as a winner in the midst of a catastrophe. Any wishful thinking to capture the “opportunities” (or exploiting loopholes) to benefit oneself seems foolish in the face of time. It is akin to a presumptuous gambler trying to outsmart time at a casino.

2

Instead, we feel the urge to work even harder. Because we, more than ever, understand and appreciate how precious youth is. More than ever, we realize that we now have our duty to fulfil. We need to demonstrate that our generation is innovative and different, that in this new world, new species and new creatures are bound to emerge and grow. Mother Nature will flourish and progress, regardless of any individual’s will. Understanding these rules of nature does not make us feel superior, nor does it give us the power to rule and order. On the contrary, it humbles us to admit that we are just part of a natural evolution of the world. One poet captured it all: “As I silently look back, all the sorrows and joy, all the twists and turns, of life, vanished like sands in the desert. And now I know, all I have accomplished, is just a part of life.”

With this perspective and in this new world, we feel humble and calm. We are tremendously grateful for our precious youth, and we feel the weight of our duty. As a result, we will be more than ever committed to investing in the future, and to be part of the driving force to the new world we are seeing. The journey has only started.

This is our Carpe Diem. This is our C’est La Vie.
