Regarding how to live a meaningful life and how to raise educated, independent and excellent children, Xiao Zha and his wife gave The best answer.

Not long ago, billionaire Xiao Zha’s family added another daughter, “August”. Just like when their eldest daughter Max was born, Xiao Zha and his wife Priscilla also wrote a letter to their youngest daughter. The letter contained hopes for their daughter's happiness, and like the letter they wrote to their eldest daughter Max, Xiao Zha and his wife promised to Continue to change the world: "We will do our best to make this world a better place, for you and for all the children of your generation..."

It has to be said that in today's fame and fortune society, Xiao Zha and his wife are simply a breath of fresh air among billionaires: alternative, low-key, simple and kind.

A couple who came out of Harvard as top academics

When Xiao Zha and his wife got married, many netizens said that "Priscilla, a passerby" was not worthy of Xiao Zha because of Priscilla's own The configuration is: big face + aunt figure + street stall clothes. Netizens are full of envy, jealousy and hatred: How can such a woman marry a billionaire? However, Xiao Zha said that he is used to seeing beauties with fair skin and long legs, but they are "not as smart as Priscilla." One sentence made the whole world's denigration of Priscilla pale and powerless.

Yi Shu once wrote in "The Round Dance": "A truly elegant lady never shows off everything she owns. She doesn't tell people what books she has read, where she has been, and what kind of things she has." How many clothes and jewelry have she bought, because she has no inferiority complex? "Priscilla is such a refined woman.

Priscilla is a Chinese-American who was born into a refugee family. In the 1970s, her parents immigrated to the United States as refugees and lived in a refugee camp for a long time. However, although the couple was at the bottom, they never gave up their hard work. They had to work more than 18 hours a day to improve their family's financial situation. Eventually, they opened a small Chinese restaurant on a food street in Boston, allowing the family to move out of the refugee camp and into better housing.

Although her family is poor, Priscilla has always attended good schools, because the Chen couple’s educational concept is: No matter how poor you are, you can’t poor your children’s education. Priscilla is also very competitive. She has been a top student since she was a child. She also won a technology challenge and the annual environmental research award in middle school. Since she was a child, Priscilla has been determined to get into Harvard.

In the end, she got her wish and became a top student at Harvard Medical School, where she met her true love, Xiao Zha.

Xiao Zha was born in a Jewish family in New York, with average family conditions. Jews also attach great importance to education. His father’s educational concept for Xiao Zha is: not to train him in a specific direction, but to discover his strengths and interests, support his free development, and encourage him to do what he wants to do. Xiao Zha is also a top student. He has developed software programs in high school, and he is very good.

At a party at Harvard, the two met while waiting in line for the bathroom and fell in love at first sight. When a Jew meets a Chinese, the couple's lives are at odds from then on.

Both husband and wife love Lurenjia equipment

Shortly after falling in love, Xiao Zha dropped out of school to start a business, because the Facebook website he wrote in school already had millions of users. He moved to Silicon Valley to pursue his career, and had always planned for Priscilla to work with him in the company after graduation.

However, after graduating, Priscilla rejected his kindness - you know, Xiao Zha's Facebook was already worth hundreds of millions of dollars at this time. But the more this happens, the more Priscilla wants to go her own way, because she doesn't want to be a "vase". Priscilla knew what she wanted since she was a child. Her dream was to be a pediatrician. She decided to continue her education, so she went to California to study while working, and then was admitted to the top medical school of the University of California in the United States.

During the long-distance relationship, one was working hard to start a business and the other was studying hard. In order to balance love, the two busy people specially made a "love contract": the two must date at least once a week; The time spent together alone must not be less than 100 minutes; the date cannot be at home, let alone the company...

After nine years of long-distance love, when Priscilla was 27 years old, , the two finally got married. At that time, Xiao Zha was already a billionaire, but their wedding was not the luxury of the rich. It was just a "mini" wedding held in their own courtyard - except for both parents, there were less than 100 guests.

After marriage, Xiao Zha and his wife are so rich, and they have been living a very ordinary life: whether Xiao Zha is going out or attending events, he wears the same gray T-shirt 99% of the time. She has worn a suit in public two or three times; Priscilla always looks like a casual aunt when she goes out. She doesn't like luxury goods and basically doesn't wear makeup.

This post-80s billionaire couple truly explains what it means: wealth comes from the soul.

Regarding always only wearing a gray T-shirt, Xiao Zha once said: "I want to make my life as simple as possible, without having to worry about making too many decisions, so that I can focus on more important things." Serve society well on these important matters.

Sometimes thinking about what to wear and what to eat is a very tiring process. If I focus on trivial things, I won't be able to do the work I should do seriously. ”

Spend money to change the world for the next generation

In 2015, Xiao Zha and his wife announced the arrival of their eldest daughter, Max. Prior to that, Priscilla had miscarried three times. Having once lost confidence in having children, the arrival of Max made Xiao Zha and his wife have mixed feelings.

In a letter to Max, Xiao Zha and his wife said: "Because of you, we began to think about this world, the one we hope for you. The world you live in, we want you to grow up in a better world than today. ”

At the same time, Xiao Zha and his wife announced that they will donate 99% of their Facebook shares worth US$45 billion to establish a charitable foundation to expand human potential and promote the development of the next generation of children.

Priscilla graduated from the University of California School of Medicine. After graduation, she worked as a general pediatrician at San Francisco General Hospital, but while still in college, Priscilla was already interning in the hospital and often participated in psychological counseling such as "reducing gang violence in a certain area." "Such a public welfare activity.

She has come into contact with many children who have been harmed by domestic violence and social violence. She said: "I realized that if these children cannot live in a safe, healthy and happy environment, , then my academic tutoring will be in vain. "She has also come into contact with many children who have no choice but to wait to die because they are poor and have no money for treatment, or have terminal diseases that cannot be treated, or because there are no organs available for transplantation. "I am very aware of the limits we have reached in terms of medicine and science. Many times, I have had to announce to the families of sick children the devastating diagnosis of leukemia or the inability to treat the disease. "

Xiao Zha said that for a long time, Priscilla looked exhausted when she came home every day. "If she comes home one day and her whole face is radiant, it must be Because a little life was effectively treated. ”

As a result, Xiao Zha and his wife quickly reached the decision to invest more money in children’s charity.

Xiao Zha donated 7,500 to San Francisco General Hospital and Trauma Center. He launched an organ donation registration tool on Facebook and developed the AMBER Alerts function to help find abducted children; he donated $100 million to a school in New Jersey, setting a record for charitable donations among young people in the United States. ; Priscilla established a Hope Primary School, which not only teaches poor children free of charge, but also provides free medical treatment and psychological counseling services to children and parents; Xiao Zha and his wife donated US$5 million to the "American Dream Scholarship Program" , providing scholarships for undocumented immigrant students...

Xiaozha and his wife hope to overcome all diseases in the next 100 years. In 2016, they were named "The 100 Most Influential People in the World" by "TIME". ". Bill Gates admired the behavior of Xiao Zha and his wife very much. He said: "I only started doing charity when I was 40 years old, and they started doing charity when they were in their 30s. "

But Xiao Zha thinks that the greatest is Priscilla. He once said to his wife on Facebook: "Saving lives and healing the wounded is the most sacred cause of mankind. I am so proud of you, Dr. Chen! ”

To create a world with a sense of mission

Today, 2 years later, the arrival of their youngest daughter, August, surprised the Xiaozha couple. Because of the experience of miscarriage, in the After giving birth to Max, they no longer expected to have another child.

When they found out they were expecting a daughter, Xiao Zha happily said on Facebook:

“I have one. 3 sisters who taught me many things, including learning from smart, strong women. Not only are they my sisters, they are my best friends. Not only are they good at writing, but they are also great at music, sports, cooking, and their respective careers. They taught me how to compete and laugh.

Priscilla also had two sisters who taught her the importance of understanding family, caring for others, and working hard. As first-generation college students, they supported each other throughout their careers in medicine and business. They always have endless jokes that only sisters can understand.

We are all better people because we have so many strong women in our lives, including sisters, mothers, and friends. I can’t wait for our little one to be born and we will do our best to raise another strong woman. ”
