Why did Masayoshi Son, a Japanese man behind Jack Ma, use China's surname?

Masayoshi Son's nationality is Japan, but his nationality is not the Yamato nationality in Japan. He is a Japanese Korean. This is easy to understand. Korean surnames are very similar to Chinese surnames. Many Korean surnames can be found in China, such as Kim, Lee, Cui and Park, which have the largest population of Korean surnames, in China. Sun is a big surname in Korea, and there are hundreds of thousands of people surnamed Sun. As a Korean, Masayoshi Son's surname is more normal.

It is worth mentioning that Masayoshi Son claimed that he was of China origin, and his ancestral home was in Putian, Fujian. It is said that he is a descendant of Sun Wu. Of course, it is not known whether it is true or not. After all, everyone likes to find some powerful people for his ancestors. It's just that I'm worried that Koreans can say that the Art of War is from South Korea. My family's Sun Shi is different from the inherent Sun Shi of the Korean nation. My ancestral home and Sun Shi of the Han nationality belong to the same origin. ?

probably in the southern and northern dynasties, the ancestors of the Sun family began to leave their hometown and moved to the Korean peninsula, which has been counted for more than a thousand years.

Therefore, no matter whether Son's ancestral home is in China or not, we should not define him as having China origin. After all, it is too long. If you say that he is from China when everything migrates from Chinese land to the Korean Peninsula, then most people on the Korean Peninsula are Masayoshi Son. After all, as early as the founding of the Western Zhou Dynasty, ji zi led the Shang Dynasty veterans to establish Jizi Korea, and Wei Man led people to establish Wei Man Korea.

Therefore, I don't agree to label Masayoshi Son as China. Just because he is famous and once the richest man in the world, it is unreasonable to force him to lean on China.

Of course, Son's Korean ancestry is still very pure. After all, his ancestors lived here for more than a thousand years, or even longer. It was not until Sun Zhengyi's grandfather's generation that he immigrated to Japan.

It was in the early 19th century, after the Sino-Japanese War of 1894-1895, the Korean Peninsula had become a colony of Japan, and the Korean Empire at that time was actually a puppet government under Japanese control. Therefore, people on the Korean peninsula have more frequent exchanges with Japan. In 191, Japan and the Korean Empire signed the Treaty of Japan-Korea Merger, which formally annexed the Korean Peninsula, and entered the so-called era of Japanese rule.

As a result of the merger with Japan, the Korean peninsula was directly ruled by Japan, and Koreans began to learn Japanese for the emperor. At the same time, the conditions for Koreans to immigrate to Japan were relaxed, and a large number of Koreans moved to Japan. It was during this period that Sun Zhengyi's grandfather moved from Daegu in the southeast of the Korean Peninsula to Kyushu, Japan, and changed his surname? Abe? .

However, at that time, emigration was not a good thing for most North Koreans, and they were just exploited in another place. Because he moved to the past, he was not a native Japanese national, but as a coolie, engaged in coolie work such as mining and road construction, with no land and no status.

To make matters worse, after Japan's defeat, Koreans who stayed in Japan were rejected. First of all, because of their previous immigration status, they were rejected by the motherland and could not go home. In Japan, everything has been torn down and started all over again. The Japanese nationality of these hard-working people who moved during the militaristic era was not recognized at all.

Therefore, this group of people has become a special group in Japan, called Japanese-Korean residents.

Although with the outbreak of the Korean War, most of these people were sent back to South Korea by the US military for support. But there are still about 6, Japanese-Korean residents in Japan, including Sun Zhengyi and his family.

In p>1957, Masayoshi Son was born in Saka Prefecture, Japan. Although he was born in Japan, he did not get Japanese nationality. Therefore, Masayoshi Son is not a Japanese who is rooted in Miao Hong. However, Masayoshi Son's growth has not been hindered by the identity problem. After all, people don't pay much attention to hukou there, and the saying family is relatively rich. Son received a good education from an early age, and went to the United States to study early. At the age of 16, he went to Berkeley University in California to study economics.

Masayoshi Son really has two brushes. He started his business when he was in college, and earned his first million dollars at the age of 18. After returning to Japan, the 24-year-old son started the software bank, and since then, he has opened the Softbank empire and his legend.

In p>1991, Masayoshi Son became a famous business tycoon in Japan, and he also obtained Japanese nationality, fulfilling the long-cherished wish of three generations.

In p>1994, SoftBank successfully went public, and 37-year-old Masayoshi Son became a billionaire worth over $1 billion.

Masayoshi son is a very good investor, and is known as? Asia Buffett? . In the late 199s, when the Internet was still in its infancy, Sun Zhengyi keenly smelled the taste of money. But instead of starting his own company and engaging in research and development, he helps others realize their ideals and make money by himself. At that time, Masayoshi Son gambled wildly around the world, spilling billions of dollars and investing in hundreds of emerging small Internet companies. Although this tactic of casting a wide net costs a lot of money, as long as it hits one, the return will be super rich.

From a generation of Internet giant Yahoo to the current Alibaba, from Didi, China's largest travel software, to ARM, which keeps pace with Intel, from NVIDIA, the world's leading chip manufacturer, to Dynamics, a magical robot company, Sun Zhengyi is all behind him.

Before the Internet bubble in 2, with the stock prices of major Internet companies soaring, Sun Zhengyi once surpassed Bill Gates to become the richest man in the world, and was named the Internet Emperor by the American media.

What is most worth mentioning is that Sun Zhengyi found Ma Yun and invested 2 million dollars in the new Alibaba, thus becoming the largest shareholder of Alibaba Group. The man behind Alibaba? .

In p>214, when Alibaba was listed on the New York Stock Exchange, the value of Alibaba shares held by Softbank increased by about 2,9 times. Today, in order to fill the company's losses, Softbank has continuously reduced its holdings of Ali shares, but it is still the most valuable asset held by Softbank.

Perhaps, investing in Alibaba will be the most proud operation of Sun Zhengyi's career. It is his relationship with Alibaba that makes the name of Masayoshi Son well known to Chinese people.

But don't think he is from China or Chinese just because of his China name. In fact, Masayoshi Son and China have little to do with each other. The reason why his surname is Sun is only his Korean identity.
