Li Yinuo was selected by Fortune magazine as the most influential business woman in China, and Li Yinuo has become a model that many women envy.

She said frankly: "Life is like a drunk driver, basically as long as you don't have an accident, it is a relatively crooked state." ”

What kind of life did this legendary woman go through?

Li Yinuo's childhood was not all smooth sailing, her father was an alcoholic, and the shadow of domestic violence hung over her and her mother like a dark cloud.

Mother supported Li Yinuo with a strong smile, and her mother was a young man in the countryside, but she was admitted to the Department of Chemistry of Shandong University by virtue of self-study, and grew from a workshop worker to a chief engineer.

The chemical plant exploded, everyone escaped, but her mother rushed into the fire and closed the valve, just because she felt that "that is my responsibility", and her mother's tenacity and sense of responsibility were deeply rooted in Li Yinuo's heart.

When his parents divorced at the age of 12, Li Yinuo did not hesitate to choose to follow his mother, who resigned from her job in a chemical factory and started all kinds of livelihoods, selling clothes and wholesale, and tasting the ups and downs of life.

Li Yinuo also knows that her mother's difficulties are not easy, and she was admitted to the Department of Biology of Tsinghua University with excellent grades, which opened the prelude to her life.

On the Tsinghua campus, where there are many masters, Li Yinuo also had low self-esteem for the excellent and diligent classmates around her, which made her more stressed.

但她骨子里有一股不服输的劲儿，坚信努力能填平一切差距，每天5点她就起床背单词；深夜实验室里还能看到裹着军大衣做数据的她。

In order to solve calculus, she deduced formulas for 72 hours until she fainted in the library, and this desperate effort kept her at the top of her grades in college.

The mentor commented on her: "She is not a genius, but a madman who dares to risk her life on her target." ”

After graduating from university, Li Yinuo went to the United States for further study and studied all the way to a doctorate at the University of California.

In 27, at the age of 0, she held a Ph.D. in molecular biology from UCLA and stood in the interview room of McKinsey.

Faced with the interviewer's questioning of her professional inappropriateness, she confidently asked, "Do you know how to explain business decisions with molecular models?" ”

But it is not easy to cross the bank, as the only foreign employee of the company with a non-business background, Li Yinuo can't even read the financial statements.

But she didn't back down, hard work in her heart is the universal law, she put in 200% effort, learn from colleagues during the day, and study by herself at night.

Soon the opportunity came, the company received a tricky project, and when everyone retreated, Li Yinuo stepped forward.

With her solid expertise and hard work, she completed the task brilliantly and conquered everyone.

The notoriously fastidious German executive shook her hand and complimented her, and the recognition became her motivation to move forward.

In 2008 years, she became the youngest global partner in McKinsey's Beijing office, with an annual salary of more than one million US dollars.

At the peak of his career, Li Yinuo ushered in a new challenge in his life - getting married and having children, giving birth to three children in four years, on the one hand, a million-level project, and on the other hand, coaxing the baby to breastfeed late at night.

When asked how she balances her career and family, she admits that she is out of balance every day, but she can only continue.

In 10 years, Li Yinuo, who had worked at McKinsey for 0 years, fell into confusion, and it was at this time that her meeting with Bill Gates completely changed the trajectory of her life.

At the invitation of Bill Gates, she joined the Gates Foundation and became the first woman to take charge in China, which means that she has to "spend money" on behalf of the world's richest man and spend her money to change the world.

At the Gates Foundation, she promoted the establishment of the Global Health Drug R&D Center in collaboration with Tsinghua University and the Beijing Municipal Government to help fill global health needs.

During the pandemic, she was actively involved in anti-epidemic projects, from vaccine research and development to public health education.

When asked if she regretted giving up her high salary, she said firmly: "If I had to do it all over again, I would make the same choice." ”

After returning to China, Li Yinuo faced a new problem - children's education, international schools educate Chinese children as foreigners, and public schools are mired in exam-oriented education, which makes her very anxious.

In 2020 years, she tossed again and co-founded "Yitu" education with her partners to explore an innovative model of combining test-oriented education and international education.

She advocates personalized education, stimulates students' internal motivation, and allows teachers, students and parents to learn together in interaction and fun.

She used her own experience to prove that women can balance career and family, can shine in different fields, and can restart their lives at any age.
