Profile

       Li Dingmei, female, master's degree from Hunan University, founded Aoshengte Heavy Industry Technology Co., Ltd. in 2007 and serves as chairman. The company specializes in developing piling machinery, rock drilling machinery, and special equipment for high-speed rail.

      If she had lived in ancient times, one would surely exhaust the ancient idioms: 'hands like soft shoots, skin like congealed fat, neck like a tree grub, teeth like melon seeds, cicada-like head and moth-like eyebrows, a charming smile.'

      If you met her in a different setting, you would think she is more like a trendy woman with delicate manners, elegant taste, and fashionable style.

      However, it is exactly such a seemingly fragile woman who, in just a few years, led Aoshengte Heavy Industry Technology Co., Ltd. to dominate the competitive arena of Changsha's construction machinery manufacturing industry. And it is this woman, honored by the industry as the 'Iron Lady' in heavy equipment manufacturing, who, facing fierce competition from many strong rivals, captures markets and commands with composure, making the company another trump card of the 'World Capital of Construction Machinery' after Sany, Zoomlion, and Sunward.

      With a clever heart, she turns hundred-refined steel into soft wrapping around the finger. She is the terminator and subverter of the traditional idea that 'only men can dominate the heavy machinery field.' She is a charity ambassador who remembers the source of wealth and is devoted to public welfare, and also a hardworking provincial and municipal people's representative who speaks for the people.

　　Unique Vision: Building a 500-Million-Yuan Enterprise in Four Years

       Li Dingmei told reporters that over the years, the most profound influence on her has been the words of Russian physicist Lebedev: 'A calm lake cannot train a tough sailor; a comfortable life cannot produce a great man of the era.' In 2007, driven by higher aspirations, Li Dingmei officially entered the construction machinery field. She did not rush to build a factory for production; instead, she established a research institute in Beijing, hired a strong 'returnee' R&D team, spent two years on technological breakthroughs, and actively carried out comprehensive cooperation with the world's largest construction machinery R&D center IHA Research Institute, US Caterpillar, Germany's BORATECH, China Railway Construction, etc.

      In 2009, at the invitation of the Changsha Municipal Government, Aoshengte Heavy Industry Technology Co., Ltd. moved from Beijing to the Changsha National High-tech Industrial Development Zone, specializing in the development of piling machinery, rock drilling equipment, and special equipment for high-speed rail. Dozens of core technologies with independent intellectual property rights emerged one after another, and the authoritative EU CE certification ensured that Aoshengte products would be at the forefront of the market from birth. At present, Aoshengte has become a high-tech enterprise in construction machinery manufacturing with an annual output value of over 500 million yuan and profits and taxes of 50 million yuan. Its products play an important role in key foundation engineering construction in China and are exported to more than 10 countries and regions in Europe, Asia, and Africa. Today's Aoshengte is one of the top 100 private enterprises in Hunan Province and has won a series of titles such as 'Hunan Province Contract-Abiding and Credit-Worthy Enterprise,' 'Little Giant Enterprise,' and 'Star Enterprise in the Construction Machinery Industry.' The Aoshengte brand is deeply rooted in people's hearts and has become a famous brand and famous trademark of Hunan Province.

      'Hunan is the country's largest construction machinery manufacturing base, with more than 30 enterprises and over 200 supporting enterprises in Changsha alone. To keep up with the times, continuously improving R&D capabilities will be key.' Li Dingmei has a bigger dream: to embark on the journey of listing within three years, accelerate global layout, form an industrial group with a scale of 3 billion yuan in the next five years, provide more than 500 jobs, and make positive contributions to social stability.

　　Remembering the Source of Wealth: Love Shines on the World

      During her tenure as a deputy to the 12th and 13th Changsha Municipal People's Congress, Li Dingmei actively conducted research and visits, offered suggestions, and spoke for the people. She put forward more than 20 proposals, making positive contributions to economic and social development and the resolution of livelihood issues. This year, she was successfully elected as a deputy to the 12th Hunan Provincial People's Congress, demonstrating the true qualities of an elite by speaking for the people. She said, 'Being a people's representative is not just an honor, but a responsibility. To fulfill this responsibility well, the first thing is to be a good spokesperson for the masses.'

      Li Dingmei's filial devotion to her mother is widely praised among her friends. When her mother was ill, despite hiring a special nurse, she, a woman worth over 100 million yuan, still attended to her side without undressing, feeding her and pouring tea for days on end, never delegating to others. 'Extend respect for one's own elders to the elders of others.' She extended this filial piety to all parents. As honorary president of the nursing home in Datunying Township, Ningxiang, in addition to financial sponsorship, she personally visits the nursing home to see the elderly without family during traditional festivals such as the Dragon Boat Festival, Double Ninth Festival, and Spring Festival, chatting with them, singing and dancing, letting them feel the warmth of family.

      Loving her small family and caring for the big family, in her view, charity is not almsgiving but should be done with gratitude and action. She regards public welfare and charitable activities such as helping those in danger and need, donating to education, and caring for vulnerable groups as her bounden duty. According to incomplete statistics, in recent years, she has donated more than 4 million yuan to all sectors of society.

      With wisdom, courage, mission, and responsibility, she writes a wonderful life of a charming woman and provides the most perfect footnote for women entrepreneurs in Hunan.
