【题目】The smartphone company Xiaomi Technology was set up in Beijing in 2010. Now it has become one of China’s leading mobile phone companies. Some people skip work and school to wait in line to buy its main product: Mi phones.

The man behind this craze is Lei Jun. The 49-year-old is the co-founder and CEO of Xiaomi.

Lei was born in Xiantao, Hubei, in 1969. At the age of 18, he entered Wuhan University to study computer science. A book that he read there changed his life. It was Fire In the Valley, which tells the story of the co-founder of Apple, Steve Jobs. Encouraged by the book, the 21-year-old set up a company. But it soon failed because he lacked(缺乏) a long-term plan.

After graduation(毕业), Lei joined Kingsoft, a software company. In 16 years, he became one of the top IT company leaders. But that’s not the only thing he wanted. “I had my dream not realized and it was calling me every night,” said Lei. At the age of 38, he left Kingsoft and started his own company.

Lei is a big fan of the iPhone. But instead of creating a copy of it, he kept thinking about how to make it better.
