Zhao was born in rural village in Jiangsu 1977 province in China to a family of teachers.
According to Forbes, he moved to Vancouver with his family after the Tiananmen Square protests in 1989. Zhao’s father, Shengkai, was a professor who was exiled to the countryside during the Cultural Revolution in China, according to the Maclean’s report. The report also said that Shengkai immigrated to Canada to pursue a doctoral degree at the University of British Columbia.
Zhao said in a September blog post that his family had to wait in line outside the Canadian embassy for three days to procure visas. He added that he was “lucky to have been able to leave at that time”.
After he moved to Canada he has worked on different places, including working as a fast food cooker in McDolands’, at Chevron Gas Station and as a referee for volleyball games in his young ages.
He studied Computer Science and successfully worked on Tokyo Exchance and Bloomerangs Tradebook.
First sign of this incredible mind was when 2005 Zhao moved back to China and eventually owned apartment in Shangai.
Zhao first heard of Bitcoin in 2013 when playing poker with Bobby Lee (brother of Charlie Lee) who would later go on to found BTCC. Lee advised Zhao to put 10% of his money into bitcoin. Zhao instead "went all in" and sold his apartment in Shanghai and invested all of his wealth in Bitcoin, much to his family's dismay.
Price of Bitcoin went down drastically and value of Shangai apartment increased 3x times.
And rest is the history.
