Birthplace: Mediocre
In this era of pursuing a "cool life", Lei Jun's successful experience is undoubtedly refreshing. As an ordinary person from a rural background, he is not the top student in the college entrance examination, nor has he scored such an astonishing score as 700 points. At the trough of his life, his bank card did not have the legendary "cold 4 billion". It is this ordinariness that makes Lei Jun's road to success more fascinating and worth savoring.
Growing up in the countryside, Lei Jun experienced first-hand the harsh living environment. He has not received systematic education and training, let alone family sponsorship and connections. Everything is created with your own hands. Perhaps it is this simplicity that keeps him in awe of life and always remembers not to be complacent. Only by being down-to-earth and working hard can we survive in this cruel society.
Lei Jun's ordinary background also made him cherish his hard-won success even more. He knows that this achievement is not achieved overnight, but by his own diligence and perseverance. Every little progress is the result of his countless nights of hard work. It is precisely because of this that he is so humble and low-key, and takes the initiative to refute the rumors of those "cool male protagonists".
The embodiment of hard work
Looking back on Lei Jun's long entrepreneurial journey, it is not difficult for us to find that diligence and hard work are a red thread running through it. From the initial small workshop to the later tech giant, along the way, he has paved the road to success bit by bit with his own hands.

With his extraordinary efforts, he quickly became the leader of the company. For Lei Jun, a young man with dreams, this job cannot meet his ideals and ambitions after all. He resigned resolutely and started his own entrepreneurial path.
In 1998, Lei Jun founded Kingsoft Corporation. In the beginning, the company had only a few employees, and the office was a small rental house. Lei Jun was never discouraged. He led the team to work day and night, day and night, just to get the company off the ground as quickly as possible. The hard work paid off, and Kingsoft soon became well-known in the industry.
In 2010, Lei Jun stepped down as CEO of Kingsoft and devoted himself to the development of Xiaomi Technology. From scratch, from small to large, every step of Xiaomi is condensed with Lei Jun's hard work. He personally presided over the product design and repeatedly polished every detail; He goes deep into the front line to understand the needs of users; He traveled everywhere and expanded his business...... In this way, Xiaomi has gone from being a nobody to an industry leader in just a few years.
Grasp the opportunities of the times

After graduating from Wuhan University of Technology in 1992, Lei Jun soon joined a foreign-funded company and started his career.
And in 1998, with the rise of the Internet, Lei Jun seized this rare dividend of the times. He resolutely founded Kingsoft and soon developed it into one of the leading Internet companies in China.

In the eyes of many people, Lei Jun is a typical representative of a "cool male protagonist". He went from an obscure rural youth to the pinnacle of his life step by step, and this legendary experience undoubtedly made people have infinite reverie and speculation about him. Lei Jun himself has never been complacent, but has spared no effort to deny these "cool articles".
He has publicly stated many times that he is not the top student in the college entrance examination, and he has never had the legendary "cold 4 billion" in his bank card. His road to success was not smooth sailing, but came little by little by relying on his diligence and perseverance. This rational and pragmatic attitude has won the respect of the general public.
It is this indifferent quality of fame and fortune that makes Lei Jun go further and further on the road to success.
