As a figure many netizens seek to emulate, Yu Chengdong's "far ahead" has become a popular catchphrase.
He once stated, "We are no different from others, lacking neither a hand nor a leg. If others can do it, why can't we? If others can do it well, we can certainly do it better. There is nothing we cannot do, only a lack of firm determination. In any field, we pursue being the first, never accepting second place."
Nowadays, Yu Chengdong (Richard Yu) has largely stopped using the phrase "far ahead," opting instead for new expressions to describe Huawei's position, such as "surpassing the sum of the second and third places" and "ranking first in the industry, significantly ahead of the second-place contender."
He once explained the meaning of "far ahead," noting that the term is not frequently used and is only mentioned when Huawei has indeed achieved a significant advantage in certain areas.
He emphasized that Huawei's leading position is established through long-term research and development innovation and technological investment.
