At the very first of establishment[in 2005], they has planned to develop a virtual world, of course, Second Life sparked some new ideas to them. The popularity of Second Life also make it easier for them to promote it.

The system will be very much focused on the Chinese internet users, with games, networking and entertainment as major drives.

Hi China Herald,

Just to clarify, I don't take any position at HiPiHi and is not involved in daily operation at all. I'm just an early team member and a family investor of HiPiHi. Xu Hui is the CEO of the HiPiHi. For more information about HiPiHi, you can check out www.hipihi.com.
Thanks, Xinhua
