Character experience

Born on September 10, 1964 in Hangzhou City, Zhejiang Province, Ma Yun’s grandfather served as a security guard during the Anti-Japanese War. After liberation, he was classified as the "Five Black Categories". The name "Jack Ma" means that he hopes that Jack Ma will be well-behaved and sensible in the future and avoid getting into trouble.

When he was 12 years old, Ma Yun bought a pocket radio. From then on, he listened to English radio every day and became interested in English. From the age of 13, Ma Yun was forced to transfer to Hangzhou No. 8 Middle School because he had too many demerits for fighting. After that, Ma Yun took the high school entrance examination, and it took him two years to get into a very ordinary high school. One time, he only scored 31 points in mathematics.

In 1982, Jack Ma took the college entrance examination for the first time and failed for the first time, scoring only 1 point in mathematics. Ma Yun was full of frustration. Later, he and his cousin went to a hotel to apply for a waiter job. As a result, his cousin was hired, but he was rejected. The reason given by the boss was that Ma Yun was thin, short, and not good-looking. Later, Jack Ma worked as a secretary and porter. Ma Yun failed the college entrance examination. His father, Malay Fa, saw that he was depressed and asked him to ride a tricycle to deliver books to magazines.
