If you are an Internet shopper, you must know one person — Jack Ma (Ma Yun). He founded the world’s largest e-commerce company Alibaba. Jack Ma was an English teacher in Hangzhou. He got to know the Internet for the first time when he went to the US for a trip in 1995. He saw it as a big chance. He started his online business after he returned. At that time, few people in China knew what Internet was. Buying things online sounded so much like a daydream. Many people called him “Crazy Jack Ma”.

When Jack Ma first started Alibaba, the times were hard. There were only 17 friends working with him. And they didn’t have much money. Every time Jack Ma got upset, he watched the film Forrest Gump (《阿甘正传》). It encouraged him to keep going. Jack Ma often says, “Everybody should have a dream. What if that dream comes true?” Alibaba has popular websites like Taobao and Tmall. It makes even more money than many other famous e-commerce sites like Amazon of the US. Ma’s dream has come true. He is also the president of Hupan College in Hangzhou now. He tries to help young business people to pursue (追求) their dreams.
