Jack Ma is famous for his entrepreneurial spirit, but as a father, he has a very unique philosophy. Ma Yuankun's son was once severely addicted to video games, causing the family to face a crisis.
Jack Ma's wife admitted to neglecting their children while focusing too much on Alibaba during its early days. To save his son, Jack Ma forced his wife to leave the company, saying, "Between son and money, you can only choose one."
He chose a clever way to cure his son's addiction: he gave him 200 yuan to play games for three days and then let him learn his lesson. Yuankun later realized that gaming only brought fatigue, and thus changed his behavior. Jack Ma also affirmed that he doesn't force his children to be at the top of their class, valuing social skills more than grades.
His educational philosophy prioritizes independence, critical thinking, and character over academic achievement. Readers are invited to watch the following video : Iris scanning tool to verify human identity | VTV24
