Thank you, operator. Hello, everyone, and welcome to our 2024 second quarter earnings conference call. Our financial and operating results were released earlier today and currently available on our IRF website. Today, you will hear from our chairman and CEO, Mr. Shen Chongfeng, who will give opening remarks and business highlights afterwards. Our CFO, Mr. Luo Yongtao, will offer a closer look into our financials. And then in question and answer session, our management team will be available to you. In today's conference, our management team will make a statement in Mandarin or in English. For those in Mandarin, a consecutive translation will be provided. In case of any discrepancy between the Mandarin version and the English version, a statement in the original language shall prevail. Let me quickly cover this same Harvard statement before we start. We'll be making forward-looking statements which involve a number of risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially. Please note that we may present both IFRS and non-IFRS financial measures, but that I am not pleased to turn our call to our chairman and CEO. Mr. Shen, you can go first.
