- Li Wei (Lead Host): A 12 veteran test driver who previously worked for a major Chinese automaker. He’s logged over 600k km behind the wheel of everything from compactans to heavy-duty trucks, and his signature line is: “I don’t just drive cars—I live with them.”

The account’s content is organized into four pillars each designed to solve a specific audience need:
Pillar 1: Real-World Testing (No Lab Data, Just Real Life)
