Liu Chuanzhi's family
Hello everyone, I'm Lantai.
Today, Lantai would like to introduce to you the situation of the whole family of Mr. Liu Chuanzhi, the founder of Lenovo.
Why do you want to introduce the situation of Mr. Liu Chuanzhi's family?
This is because there is a significant difference between Mr. Liu Chuanzhi's family and other similar wealthy families, that is, none of the members of Mr. Liu Chuanzhi's family have emigrated overseas.
Mengniu's founder, Mr. Niu Gensheng, now lives in Vancouver with his family, and Chen Tianqiao, the former richest man, is still a Chinese national, but his family moved to Singapore many years ago.

Liu Chuanzhi's wife's name is Gong Guoxing, and she graduated from Northwest Telecommunications Engineering College.
She and Liu Chuanzhi were originally college classmates.
It's just that both of them were busy studying during college, and although they had a good impression of each other, they didn't make it clear.
When they graduated from college, the two were so regrettably separated.
originally thought that it was fate, but I didn't expect that both of them were sent to Baiteng Island, Zhuhai, Guangdong Province in 1968 for labor and training.
For Liu Chuanzhi, who is only 24 years old, working and exercising on Baiteng Island in Zhuhai, Guangdong Province is nothing in itself, and what makes him most uncomfortable is that he is surrounded by local farmers, who not only speak Cantonese but also Mandarin every day.
Fortunately, at this time, he met Gong Guoxing, a college classmate who also went to Baiteng Island to work and exercise.
Two lonely hearts came together naturally.
A year later, in 1969, Liu Chuanzhi and Gong Guoxing registered their marriage.
In 2009, Liu Chuanzhi returned to Baiteng Island
In 2009, Liu Chuanzhi returned to Baiteng Island, and when reminiscing about the past, he said that the amount of labor back then was actually very large, and many of his problems fell at that time:
Liu Chuanzhi recalled that the arduous and arduous labor from 1968 to 1970 was "a painful thing." "Life was very hard," Liu recalled, adding that boys wore a pair of trousers, which was almost the same as not wearing clothes, and often pinned a plastic sheet around their waists, "to protect them from the rain," he said with a wry smile, adding that his eczema, which had been difficult to heal for many years, was the root of the disease at that time. ——2009, reported by Nanfang.com
In 1970, Liu Chuanzhi and his wife were finally transferred back to Beijing and both entered the Chinese Academy of Sciences.
It was also this year that Liu Chuanzhi's eldest son Liu Lin was born.

However, at this time, the living conditions of the two were still very difficult, and the family of three lived in a small house of only 12 square meters.
Liu Chuanzhi's greatest gratitude to his wife is that when he founded Lenovo, his wife Gong Guoxing was very supportive, and he did not hold him back at all, and for a long time, he took on the responsibility of educating his children alone:
I am very grateful to my wife for coming out to start my own business, which never put me under any pressure, at that time we were both working in the Academy of Sciences, she knew that it was really risky to come out at that time, she knew that she couldn't press me out, she couldn't feel at ease, so she would actively support me. Later, when I was working outside, I rarely went home to talk about any difficulties, so the family was always stable. Like the responsibility for the education of her children, more falls on her. ——Liu Chuanzhi, answering questions from netizens when Legend Holdings was listed in Hong Kong in 2015
Later, after Liu Chuanzhi successfully started a business and became a business leader at that time, someone suggested to him that he could let his wife immigrate to Canada or the United States.
However, Liu Chuanzhi and his wife politely rejected these suggestions, and Liu Chuanzhi and his wife are still Chinese nationals.
Liu Chuanzhi's eldest son, Liu Lin
02、
Liu Chuanzhi's eldest son is called Liu Lin and was born in 1970.
There is very little information about Liu Lin on the Internet, and it can be said that Liu Chuanzhi "protected" his son very well.
For a long time, netizens didn't even know that Liu Chuanzhi had a son.
It wasn't until February 13, 2016 that Liu Chuanzhi and his son appeared on CCTV together, and the information about Liu Lin on the Internet gradually increased.
At this time, we learned that Liu Lin was a graduate of "Beijing University of Posts and Communications", and he should have been admitted to the computer department of "Beijing University of Posts and Communications" in the late 80s and early 90s of the 20th century.
Liu Lin graduated from "Beijing Post Office" in 1994 at the latest, and then went to Columbia University in the United States to study computer science.
It is likely that Liulin's study abroad is not self-funded in the ordinary sense.
Why?
This is because the state only issued a notice in 1993 that anyone who wants to study abroad at his own expense must be approved by the relevant departments in various places, and if the approval is not passed, then he cannot study abroad.
This provision was not formally abolished until 2004.
Therefore, in 1994, when Liu Lin went abroad to study, even if he went abroad at his own expense, there was a high probability that he would ask for a study abroad quota from "Beijing Post Office".

However, Liu Lin certainly did not occupy anyone's quota, because some universities in those years had self-funded study abroad quotas, for their own graduates or young teachers, but because the cost of studying abroad is astronomical for ordinary families, these self-funded study abroad places in universities are often not used up.
After receiving a master's degree in computer science from Columbia University in the United States, Liu Lin did not choose to stay in the United States, but returned to Beijing;
Therefore, Liu Lin only interned in the investment department of Lenovo for half a year in a very low-key manner, and then chose to start his own investment company.
Liu Lin once said on a TV show that his father never beat him, but he was found to have changed his scores secretly in his childhood, so he was subjected to a "cold war" by his father Liu Chuanzhi, who did not say a word to him for several days.
Liu Lin said that in his father's educational concept, grades can be bad, but he must be honest.
On December 28, 2016, 46-year-old Liu Lin finally got married, which can be regarded as a matter of Liu Chuanzhi's heart.
On January 6, 2017, the excited Liu Chuanzhi gave a speech entitled "Ten days ago, my son finally got married" at a private gathering held by the China Entrepreneur Club.
According to the information searched by Lantai and the friends who entrusted them to work as real estate agents in the United States to check the relevant websites, they did not find any relevant information about the Liulin family moving to the United States.
There is a high probability that the Liulin family is still living in China.
Ms. Liu Qing, President of Didi
About Liu Chuanzhi's daughter Liu Qing, I believe everyone is familiar with it.
Compared with his son, Liu Chuanzhi prefers himself, a girl born in 1978.
Judging from media reports, Liu Qing has a high-profile and cheerful personality, which is quite pleasing to his father: every time Liu Chuanzhi goes on a business trip, he will ask Liu Qing if he is free, and he will accompany his mother more when he is free.
Liu Qing, like her brother, also graduated with a major in computer science.
However, she graduated from the Department of Computer Science of Peking University, and then obtained a master's degree in computer science from Harvard University in the United States.
Liu Chuanzhi's family of four
After graduating from Harvard at the age of 24, Liu Qing found a job as an investment banking analyst at Goldman Sachs Hong Kong, and then transferred to the investment department of Goldman Sachs as a grassroots analyst of equity investment two years later, and became an executive director of Goldman Sachs Hong Kong at the age of 30.
On July 28, 2014, at the age of 36, Liu Qing left Goldman Sachs to join Didi as chief operating officer, and was promoted to president of Didi on February 4, 2015.
On April 16, 2019, Liu Qing revealed in her personal circle of friends that she had been divorced for two years and was a "single mother".
