马云正式退休，全球齐刷刷热议 丨说英闻

昨晚，马云在生日这天，正式卸任阿里巴巴董事局主席职务。

周二晚，阿里巴巴在杭州奥林匹克体育中心与8万名员工一起庆祝马云退休，当天恰好是马云的生日，也是公司成立20周年纪念日。

Alibaba on Tuesday evening celebrated Mr. Ma’s retirement — which also coincides with his birthday and the company’s 20th anniversary — with 80,000 of its employees in the Olympic Stadium in Hangzhou.

年会开始前，马云眼眶湿润，挥手向场内阿里员工示意。

马云现场演讲的过程中也一度哽咽。

“过了今天晚上，我就要开启新的生活。青山不改，绿水长流，后会有期。”

年会的末尾，马云又换上一身朋克造型，独唱了一首《怒放的生命》，酷到不行。

9月9日，在退休前一天，马云回到滨江园区看望老同事。现场堪比追星现场，大家纷纷拿起手机拍照留念。

今年1月，由美国权威杂志网站《外交政策》评选出“过去10年对世界产生巨大影响的10位思想者”，马云成为唯一入选的中国人。

对于这次马云正式“退休”，几乎所有主流外媒纷纷做了报道：

《华尔街日报》撰文提到：

There is no one in Chinese business like Jack Ma, and it may be a long time before anyone like him comes around again.

在中国商界，没有一个人像马云那样特立独行，而且像他这样的人再度出现可能需要很长一段时间。

接下来，马云会将更多的精力花在环保、公益和教育方面，将重心转到乡村教师代言人“马老师”这一身份上。
