A short Chinese man is one of the biggest men in the world right now. He is Jack Ma (Ma Yun), the Chairman(董事局主席)of Alibaba Group. On Sept. 19,2014, Alibaba went public(上市)and raised $25 billion(十亿). Ma, a former English teacher, has become the richest man in China.

Born in 1964 in Hangzhou, Zhejiang, Ma grew up as a happy kid. When he was a teenager, he wanted to learn English. Every morning, he got up at 5a.m, rode his bike for 40 minutes to a hotel near the West Lake and talked with foreign tourists in English. He did it for nine years, rain or shine.
