Jiu Qian – Celebrating Nine Years of Yiren Hengye and VINNO
Release time:
2026-07-23
The I Ching (Book of Changes) states: "In the fifth nine, the dragon flies in the sky." Nine, as the ultimate yang number, symbolizes the pinnacle of strength, vitality, and ceaseless renewal.
In 2026, the partnership between Yiren Hengye and VINNO enters its ninth year.
In the temporal philosophy of the I Ching, nine years constitute a complete cycle of Qian (The Creative) — an arc that begins with the hidden dragon in obscurity, advances through the dragon appearing in the field with diligent cultivation, and culminates in the dragon soaring in the sky, achieving breakthrough and transcendence.
The recent in-depth exchange between the Yiren Hengye team and the VINNO headquarters serves as a microcosm of the continuous technological synergy and synchronized evolution that has defined these nine years.
Today, as we reflect upon our journey on this special milestone, we do not merely look back in nostalgia, but rather bear witness together to the enduring power forged through long-term co-creation and mutual growth.

2017 – The Challenger Who Rose Against the Tide
Chapter One · The Hidden Dragon in Obscurity
Nine years ago, the domestic preclinical small-animal ultrasound market was long dominated by overseas brands, with foreign players commanding over 95% of the market share. The industry landscape was rigidly entrenched, leaving little room for domestic alternatives to gain a foothold.
At the outset, what lay before us was not a blue-ocean opportunity, but formidable barriers and exacting challenges at every turn. Yet both sides reached a strong consensus: domestic clinical ultrasound had already proven its mettle — the research field deserved a homegrown solution capable of breaking the monopoly.
In 2017, we made a decision that the industry viewed as swimming against the tide: joining forces to enter the preclinical small-animal ultrasound market. With the confidence to stand toe-to-toe with established global giants, we embarked — as challengers — on a symbiotic journey from ground zero.

Nine Years of Deep Cultivation — All Strength Validated by Data
Over nine years of relentless cultivation, every facet of our capability has been substantiated — from paper agreements to millions of on-site services, every achievement leaves a trace.
NO.1 Global Footprint
Since 2017, cumulative installations of our preclinical small-animal ultrasound systems have surpassed 280 units.
Our business footprint now spans China, Japan, South Korea, Singapore, Russia, Israel, the United States, and beyond.
We have established a wholly-owned overseas subsidiary, YEERAN SCIENCE INC., and signed 8 authorized overseas distributors across Japan, South Korea, France, Singapore, Russia, the United States, and Australia, with additional business coverage in Taiwan, China.
National Heart Centre Singapore Bar-Ilan University
Seoul National University Fudan University
Xiehe Hospital BeiJing University
NO.2 Academic Achievements
Research outcomes enabled by our systems have been continuously delivered. Our global users have cumulatively published over 320 SCI-indexed papers, with findings featured in leading international journals including Circulation, Cell Research, Cell Discovery, and Nature Biomedical Engineering. These studies have provided core imaging support for fundamental life science research and cardiovascular disease investigations.
NO.3 Global Conference Presence
We have participated in over 130 professional academic conferences both domestically and internationally. Through sustained presence at exhibitions around the world, we have continuously presented homegrown small-animal ultrasound solutions, showcasing the advantages of our proprietary systems to the global research community.
NO.4 Technical Services
On-site installations and training: 2,000+ sessions
On-site live demonstrations: 1,000+ sessions
Online one-on-one remote technical guidance: 8,000+ person-times
Joint collaborative activities: 40+ sessions (with partner institutions including Shanghai Jiao Tong University, SciMed Research Institute, Anhui Medical University, Tsinghua University Platform, and others)
Nine years of sustained investment and countless technical service deployments on the ground have transformed pre-sales demonstrations, hands-on training, and after-sales technical support into standardized core competencies — forging a service moat that is exceptionally difficult to replicate.
Chapter Three · The Dragon Takes Flight
Technology Forged Through Continuous Evolution
In 2017, our small-animal ultrasound capabilities were modest. Nine years of R&D iteration later, we have delivered over 20 core imaging technologies — from super-resolution imaging and myocardial strain to elastography, contrast imaging, and fine microvascular visualization.
Every advancement has been driven by real experimental needs: Yiren Hengye listens directly to global researchers, identifying critical pain points in the lab; VINNO responds with precision engineering and algorithmic innovation. This is technology built for science — by those who understand it best.
Final Chapter · United in Trust and Purpose
(Gan Dan Xiang Zhao)
Time Bears Witness — Steady Progress, Enduring Legacy
Looking back at the images and honors accumulated over the years, nine years of deep cultivation come vividly into view. The images captured year by year, the technologies brought to life, and the countless frontline services rendered — these are the true testament to the value of our symbiosis.
It began with a contract on paper, but it was rooted in unwavering trust. Nine years of shared purpose, heart to heart, through triumphs and challenges alike.
The road ahead is long, yet we press ever upward. With V as our prologue, we gather our strength and march forward.
