[cnmo News] In China, almost everyone knows the name Jack Ma. He is the founder of Alibaba. Ali-based software such as Taobao, Tmall, and Alipay are must-have applications in most of our mobile phones. Recently, cnmo discovered that 58-year-old Ma Yun appeared in Melbourne in a low-key manner, and his photo with Australian friends was also posted on social platforms.
Jack Ma made a low-key appearance in Melbourne
It is understood that Jack Ma met again in Melbourne with an Australian friend he met by the West Lake in Hangzhou more than 40 years ago. In the photo, Jack Ma is wearing a blue round-neck T-shirt and a pair of white slacks, and his dress is very low-key.
Ma Yun met his former friends
In addition, in the photo, there are also Ma Yun's former friends. In 1980, Ma Yun, who was looking for foreigners to practice English by the West Lake, met the Australian Morley family who came to travel by chance. Ma Yun was only in his teens that year, and he was still an ordinary middle school student, very young. So far, Jack Ma and the Morley family have become pen pals, and the two sides often correspond. And when old Molly wrote back to Ma Yun, he often corrected Ma Yun's grammatical mistakes.
In the summer vacation of 1985, the Morley family invited Ma Yun to Australia. In order to let Jack Ma come to Australia, the Morley family kept sending telegrams to the Australian embassy in China to explain the situation. After many efforts, Jack Ma finally came to Australia. Ma Yun once recalled that although he had to apply for a visa seven times before finally making the trip to Newcastle, it was this journey that completely changed his view of the world. Even after the trip to Australia, the fate of Jack Ma and Ken Morley's family continued.
In order to repay the kindness of the Morley family to him, on February 3, 2017, Ma Yun donated 20 million US dollars in Australia and set up a scholarship program called ma-morley at Newcastle University. It is reported that this money is the history of Newcastle University. Largest donation ever received.
