　　各位阿里巴巴的客户、阿里人、阿里巴巴的股东们：

　　Dear Alibaba customers, Aliren, and shareholders,

　　今天是阿里巴巴19周年。我怀着激动的心情向大家宣布：经董事会批准，一年后的今天，也就是2019年9月10日，阿里巴巴20周年，我将不再担任阿里巴巴集团董事局主席，现任阿里巴巴集团CEO张勇(逍遥子)将接任董事局主席一职。我从今日起会全面配合张勇，为我们的组织过渡做好准备。在2019年9月10日之后，我将继续担任阿里巴巴集团董事会成员，直至2020年阿里巴巴年度股东大会。

　　Today, as we mark the 19th anniversary of Alibaba, I am excited to share some news with you: with the approval of our board of directors, one year from today on September 10, 2019 which also falls on Alibaba's 20th anniversary, Group CEO Daniel Zhang will succeed me as chairman of the board of Alibaba Group. While remaining as executive chairman in the next 12 months, I will work closely with Daniel to ensure a smooth and successful transition. Thereafter, I will stay on the Alibaba board of directors until our annual shareholders meeting in 2020.

　　这是我深思熟虑、认真准备了10年的计划，今天得以实现，要感谢阿里巴巴合伙人的认同，感谢阿里巴巴董事局的批准，也要感谢所有阿里巴巴的同事们以及他们的家人，正因为过去19年大家对我的信任、支持和共同努力，让我们有足够的自信和能力迎接这一天。

　　I have put a lot of thought and preparation into this succession plan for ten years. I am delighted to announce the plan today thanks to the support of the Alibaba Partnership and our board of directors. I also want to offer special thanks to all Alibaba colleagues and your families, because your trust, support and our joint enterprise over the past 19 years have prepared us for this day with confidence and strength.

　　这标志着阿里巴巴完成了从依靠个人特质变成依靠组织机制、依靠人才文化的企业制度升级。

　　This transition demonstrates that Alibaba has stepped up to the next level of corporate governance from a company that relies on individuals, to one built on systems of organizational excellence and a culture of talent development.

　　1999年，和大家一起创办阿里巴巴的时候，我们矢志建立一家让中国和世界骄傲的公司，让公司能够持久发展102年。我们知道谁都不可能陪伴公司102年，公司持久发展靠的是治理制度、文化体系和源源不断的人才梯队，公司不可能只靠几个创始人，更何况我深知从能力、精力和体力的角度，任何人都不可能永远担任公司的CEO和董事长工作。

　　When Alibaba was founded in 1999, our goal was to build a company that could make China and the world proud and one that could last 102 years. However, we all knew that no one could stay with the company for 102 years. A sustainable Alibaba would have to be built on sound governance, culture-centric philosophy, and consistency in developing talent. No company can rely solely on its founders. Of all people, I should know that. Because of physical limits on one's ability and energy, no one can shoulder the responsibilities of chairman and CEO forever.
