Thank you. Hello, everyone. Thank you for joining our first quarter 2022 earnings conference call. Despite the recent resurgence of the COVID-19 pandemic and ongoing macro headwinds, we achieved solid top line performance in the first quarter with double-digit revenue growth and a record high quarterly net income since our IPO. Notably, our advertising business and the enterprise value-added services both reported robust results and year-over-year growth. As a prominent brand and a pioneering platform dedicated to serving New Economy participants in China, we remain committed to establishing a high-quality service system to build a flywheel of growth with diversified business offerings. I'd like to begin with an overview of our content initiatives. In the first quarter, we continued to upgrade our content offerings and create new programs and formats to expand our service boundaries. For example, we launched several official content accounts during the first quarter: KR Carbon, and for more service coverage from the active of China's new carbon policy, investment institutions and creative-development audiences. respectively. These programs quickly engage users and had all enjoyed high popularity thus far. Our content team also explored new content formats and strengthened our collaboration with WeChat video accounts and live streaming projects. The live streaming audiences attracted by our new program . Going forward, we will roll out additional live streaming series focused on hot niche markets. This new video and live streaming projects fully mobilize 36Kr's content creation and editing capabilities as well as industry resources to deliver newer high-quality content, industry updates and expert opinions to our users. We are also meeting the content needs of more diversified user groups, which substantially broaden our user base. Furthermore, for our public active market content side, our Warren Buffet Shareholder Meeting series that we jointly created with Tiger Securities, also gained traction. Building on our content production capabilities, we conducted an in-depth analysis of the investment sales, target assets and investment transit costs at meetings, winning acclaim among institutional users with our high-quality content and innovative formats. After the meeting series, the Omaha Value Investment Education and Research Center reached out to 36Kr to explore future potential collaboration opportunities. Finally, alongside our efforts in short-video and live streaming, we also continued to make strides in audio content during the quarter. For example, we established a cooperation with to showcase KR Finances rich content in audio scenarios, which effectively elevates our user experience. Content quality is always a top priority for 36Kr. As we remain committed to executing our content platform strategy, we still focus on PGC and UGC. We have consistently incorporated more high-quality content into 36Kr's ecosystem. The number of content pieces on our featured channels with pages views about 100,000 -- 20,000 continuously increased during the quarter. Notably, the topic streamed for primary school students of we initiated recently has sparked animated discussion online, catapulting the topic to Weibo's hot searches list. Our focus on premium engaging content is paying off, leading to a remarkable 15th consecutive quarter of page view growth. To better reflect the 36Kr's content influence and user coverage, starting from this quarter, we will report the total number of our followers inside of our page views. This new matrix will provide investors with a more comprehensive perspective from which to assess 36Kr's performance across the entire network. As of the first quarter of 2022, the number of our followers exceeded 24 million, a year-over-year increase of 25%. As the number of our followers on Bilibili is well beyond 1 million in the beginning of 2022, 36Kr's video also gained traction on other platforms such as demonstrated by the surging number of our followers. As of the end of the first quarter of 2022, our short-videos have attracted nearly 7 million followers in all, not only -- we gained over 180,000 new followers of our official corporate accounts on Toutiao in just one day. Riding on the popularity of Bing Dwen Dwen, the mascot of the Beijing Winter Olympics, we created a short video, which was viewed more than 30 million times, rising to number one on Toutiao's chart of top Winter Olympics-related searches. The incremental building of premium brand requires not only innovation content and formats, but also an unwavering commitment to our mission of empowering New Economy participants to achieve more. We have consistently adhered to our philosophy of working closely with start-offs in helping them grow bigger and stronger. We applaud them for their progress and lend a helping hand in times of difficulty. As a companion -- a company and enabler of the industry, we hope to truly assist entrepreneurs during these exceptionally challenging times. To that end, in early May, we officially launched the Seeking the Life program to help business, particularly small- and medium-sized enterprises to maintain their brand share of voice despite the market downturn. This program, again, facilitated a seamless integration of information, capital, talent and technology. Looking at our ongoing business expansion efforts despite the recent COVID-19 resurgence, we did not slowdown our expansion in the Greater Bay Area and overseas markets. We conducted a virtual live streaming session in South China for the first time during the quarter, generating new ideas for product launches against the backdrop of the current COVID-19 outbreak. On the international front, the 36Kr Global which specializes overseas markets continue to provide efficient connection services, helping various Chinese brands operating overseas network in Global from agencies and investment institutions to explore our business development opportunities in those markets. New products and models have helped us build a closed loop service framework and a diversified three-dimensional ecosystem, staying true to our vision of empowering new economy participants to achieve more. We consistently strive to broaden our media service boundaries and refine our business model, which are also reflected in our commercialization performance. Next, let's look at our achievements on that front. As our cash core business, advertising business performed well in the first quarter, achieving an increase of 13% year-over-year. Even against the backdrop of COVID-19 resurgences and macroeconomic challenges, our advertising revenue disrupted mainly from brand marketing has experienced growth far above industry average, thanks to our relentless efforts to create innovative service formats and improved customer satisfaction levels. Leveraging our short video format, we achieved a new high in terms of contracts sets for our advertising services during the quarter. Not only Intel continued to promote its new products through our short video formats with these contract sets continuing to rest. Moreover, we launched an original program to promote sense and safe policy risk, resulting in a contract far larger than those of the traditional tax and image-based marketing solutions. We also helped various well-known companies, including Panasonic, Changan Auto, Toyota, BYD, Dali Education, and iFLYTEK, promote their brand concepts and create product launch videos. The continuous stream of new customer and repeat orders of existing customer are a testament to the effectiveness of our short video format in brand marketing, targeting fee and consumers while also further raising our average revenue per customer. Our consistent innovation in tax and graphics content also contributed to excellent commercialization performance, for example or use attractive increased attention from young user groups with service on young people's consumption trends, featuring well-funded reasoning and plans format and garnered white spread acclaim by creating unique promotion matters for customers, including DingTalk, Huawei, HLA, Pinduduo, Juhu and IGE. Given all use advantages in the first quarter, we were able to raise this record to a level considerably higher than that of similar official accounts. Going forward, we believe this program will pro-help the expansion of our service presence and raise our advertising revenue selling. Turning now to our enterprise value-added services, which grew 35% year-over-year in the first quarter despite COVID-19 impact, thanks to our strategy adjustments and new service formats. On the corporate service side, 36Kr jointly hosted the display of enterprise service forum with DingTalk and collaborating with them to planned events agenda and content. Leveraging our knowledge of enterprise in enterprise services, we not only help the participant in enterprise service platforms better understand the latest industry updates and future development opportunities, but also assisting DingTalk in funding potential partners along the value chain. In terms of institutional collaboration, 36Kr partner with Securities to organize the dual carbon star sustainable innovation contest aimed at discovering innovative companies with potential in four major sectors: new energy, new materials, new technology and new business models, we hope to help companies gain a deeper understanding of the dual carbon policy, better guard market demands and connect with industrial capital. Our regional expansion also achieved good results during the quarter. We entered into a partnership with additional government agencies, including Jianye district in Nanjing, the China standing of Information and Communications Technology affiliated with the Ministry of Industry & Information Technology and the high core business school of regional versus talent association to integrated resources in innovative fields such as the megawatts and industrial Internet such as close connections between local governments and enterprises in both the upstream and downstream of the industry chain to empower industry upgrades. In addition, we are also working to expand our enterprise line base as a new growth avenue. During the first quarter, the proportion of our enterprise client grew substantially, not only both the number of enterprise clients and value of contract execution increased significantly year-over-year. Moving forward, we will also focus on serving high-quality, innovative local enterprises who are becoming a new catalysts to our regional business growth. Looking on to our subscription services, we continue to test waters with new variations in the subscription services including launch innovations and business for training programs and other forms of institutional interactions supported by our continuous upgrades and premium services cost in a fourth quarter revenue from institutional and corporate clients increased 57% year-over-year. The number of contract signed by investment institutions nearly doubled compared with the same period in 2021, among which the repeat orders from existing customers accounted for up to 70%. Mostly, I'd like to share with you the latest upgrades on our enterprise service review platform. In terms of operating data, major matrix all improved substantially year-over-year. Our monthly active users rose more than 25x year-over-year to nearly 900,000, up 49% sequentially, and the number of authentic reviews surged almost 50x to over 21,000, up %. Meanwhile, as we continue to establish our platform service system and to its reputation, which showcases nearly 6,000 pieces of mainstream software on the platform following the main enterprise service software of 16 industry and 200 industry segments accounting for 80% of the entire market. 36Kr's enterprise service review platform now both complete coverage of leading brands as well as coverage of many mid-range brands and other widely known staff apps available in the market. Since merchants oriented features were launched in September 2021, a total of nearly 700 merchants have set up presence on our platform compared with approximately 400 merchants a few months ago, nearly doubling our coverage of mainstream staff provider in just a short few rate of time. I'd like to highlight that through the joint efforts of our online and off-line events, as well as our newly launched feature, the 66Kr enterprise service review platform automatic report. We have effectively enhanced the platforms visibility and traffic. The number of lease has fallen significantly compared with the same period of last year with a steady conversion rate of 30%. The significant improvement in the number of lease and year conversion rate are key indicators of our capabilities to efficiently empower sales provider to acquire customers presently while lowering their customer acquisition costs. In the first quarter, our enterprise service review platform performed well in terms of commercialization. Up to now, we have signed contracts with Kingdee, Beisen, Huawei, HiteVision, and EC SCRM. I will empower these lines in customer acquisition, brand management and marketing services. And the two sessions this year, the government drive the strategic importance of digitalization. We will continue to improve our enterprise service review platform service system to contribute to the digital transformation of more enterprises and performance agencies. To the more detailed this year, we will remain focused on growing our platform evaluation standards and creating our own magic quadrants for China's enterprise service industry. Seeking consistent breakthroughs in the areas of software product libraries, user review, libraries, key person databases and knowledge graph libraries. Meanwhile, we are also accumulating typical collaborative cases of solid foundation for commercialization and establish strategic partnership in the upstream and downstream of the industry chain. We believe that with our relentless efforts, our enterprise service review platform will have a promising future in commercialization. In conclusion, I'm pleased to say that despite the COVID-19 resurgence and complicated internal and external economic conditions, we still achieved solid first quarter results. Note fully, our new business initiative, 36Kr enterprise service review platform continues its strong growth trajectory with major metrics improving substantially year-over-year. More excitingly, its commercialization subside during the quarter clearly demonstrates that the enterprise service review platform is becoming 36Kr's second growth engine. We will capitalize on the growth prospects in the new economy to fill new hubs as we start the next chapter of our development. Going forward, we will continue to be a push there for the new economy sector for expanding our user base and calculating our diverse content and service ecosystem while also shouldering our corporate, social responsibilities and empowering more industry participants to achieve greater success. With that, I will now turn the call over to our CFO, Ms. Lin Wei, who will discuss our key financial results. Please go ahead, Lin.
