As an authoritative media in the financial sector, Business has interviewed more than 300 famous entrepreneurs, including Wang Jianlin, Zhang Chaoyang, Ma Huateng, Luo Yonghao, Dong Mingzhu and Lei Jun, in its heavyweight original column Cover Figure since its inception. Chairman Liu Hanyuan's relationship with Business can be traced back to the first Cover Figure interview in August 2002. The then issue of Business published six full-episode interviews titled "Why Tongwei", introducing to readers this company "that has no story but deserves calm examination and understanding" and telling the story of "Strong Tongwei" and "Wise Tongwei" on the road to entrepreneurship. In November 2011, Chairman Liu appeared on the cover of Business again, at which time Tongwei's entry into the new energy industry received widespread attention. Business published eight full-episode interviews titled "Liu Hanyuan's New Energy Ideal State", describing how Chairman Liu led the successful transformation of Tongwei with clear strategic thinking between the ebb and flow of the new energy industry.

The two decade-long interviews have witnessed the development path of Tongwei in the field of agriculture and new energy. In 2022, another decade has passed, Tongwei has become a global leader in agriculture and new energy, ushering in a 40-year development milestone. At this special point, Business interviewed Chairman Liu for the third time. Why is Tongwei able to keep pace with the times and constantly stand in the forefront of the era? And what logic has underpinned the development of Tongwei? Deconstructing Tongwei's 40-year path provides a model for the transformation and upgrading faced by a large number of enterprises over the past 40 years of China's reform and opening up. Chairman Liu also became the first entrepreneur appearing on the cover of Business three times since its inception.
