The Jialing XM50 born in 1980, the Suzuki RG500 that symbolizes love in “If Heaven Has Feelings”, the “Nordic Goddess” Honda Valkyrie… At the Jinlang National First Antique Motorcycle Collection Exhibition of the 2025 Taizhou Electric Vehicle, Motorcycle and Parts Exhibition and the First Taizhou Motorcycle Culture Festival, more than 500 classic and antique motorcycle collections spanning different eras and covering well-known Chinese and foreign brands have given this exhibition extraordinary cultural depth and contemporary significance.

Remarkably, this vast and historically valuable collection of motorcycles was created by a single individual: Mr. Wu Huacong, Chairman of Jinlang Technology. I was fortunate enough to glimpse these rare motorcycles at the Jinlang Technology factory, and at that time, I was more than amazed by the factory owner’s passionate love for motorcycles. Now, on this open platform, exhibiting these motorcycle treasures, bearing the imprint of a time, not only awakens the emotional memory of a generation, but also allows more people to understand the history and culture of motorcycles through the “beauty of machinery,” further promoting the inheritance and development of motorcycle culture.

From a humble motorcycle mechanic to the helm of a motorcycle company with an annual output exceeding 560 million yuan, Wu’s entrepreneurial journey has been one of struggle and passion. In 1998, he led 12 apprentices in developing the first motorcycle engine, thus embarking on his entrepreneurial journey. For the next 17 years, he dedicated himself to the engine industry, focusing on R&D and manufacturing, constantly overcoming technical bottlenecks and gaining a deep understanding of the pain points of motorcycle production. In 2016, Wu officially entered the vehicle manufacturing industry, establishing the “ARIIC” brand. He has subsequently launched a number of popular models, including the 318GT, Gobi 250, and Beauty 108, catering to diverse consumer needs.

“When I build motorcycles, I always think of them as being for my children, so safety is always paramount,” says Wu. This simple yet unwavering belief in motorcycle manufacturing has become the cornerstone of the ARIIC brand’s market presence and reputation. For him, motorcycles are not only the starting point of his career but also a spiritual sustenance, a vehicle for his ideals and responsibilities.

Today, Jinlang Technology has grown into a comprehensive enterprise integrating engine and vehicle R&D, manufacturing, and sales. In overseas markets, the ARIIC brand has gradually gained a strong reputation and recognition. In China, Wu believes that motorcycle culture is just beginning. He stated that Jinlang Technology will continue to strengthen its brand foundation, expand its presence in the electric motorcycle market, create products with higher safety factors, and take concrete actions to reduce the incidence of road safety accidents, thereby setting a higher safety benchmark for the industry.

From him, we see the ingenuity and perseverance of an entrepreneur, and we also sense the ever-growing pulse of China’s motorcycle industry. The display of more than 500 motorcycles is not only a showcase of the fusion of technology and culture, but also a dialogue of sentiment across time and space.
