After 15 year career with tech giants like IBM and Alibaba, this gifted farm boy is bringing AI back to China


Min, 41, was born into a farmer’s family in Jinzhai County in eastern China’s Anhui province, and spent his childhood growing up in an area known as 'the cradle of the generals', where 59 of the country’s famous wartime generals were born. — SCMP
