The founder of Xiaomi has “the most difficult time” since fatal crash in which one of his cars are involved

“I put down, canceled some meetings and business trips and stopped interaction on social media for a while,” said Lei in a Weibo contribution, accompanied by two photos – one with a gym and a Xiaomi Su7 Ultra.

“I've been very busy in recent years, but this time I was able to calm down and think carefully,” he wrote.

While Lei did not mention the fatal accident, the post followed for weeks intensive public examination in relation to the safety of Xiaomis drive assistance system.

Lei, who has more than 26 million followers in Weibo, has been relatively quiet since last month and only released 21 times in April, mainly official business ads. This was in a sharp contrast to the last week of March when he shared 33 posts, including many personal photos.
