Mark Zuckerberg, the founder of Facebook, is an American computer programmer. His net worth (资产净值) is about $71 billion, ranking him the fifth richest person in the world. On 1 December, 2015, he and his wife announced that they would give 99 per cent of their Facebook shares to the Chan Zuckerberg Fund. Since 2010, Time magazine has named Zuckerberg among the 100 wealthiest and most influential people in the world.
Born in 1984, he and his three sisters were brought up in a small village in New York. At high school, Zuckerberg was outstanding in class. He won prizes in science. He could also read and write French, Hebrew, Latin, and ancient Greek. Zuckerberg began using computers and writing software at middle school. His father taught him basic programming in 1990. He enjoyed developing computer programs, especially communication tools and games. During his high school years, he built a software program called ZuckNet that allowed all the computers between the house and his fathers dental office to communicate with each other. The following year, he built a music player called the Synapse Media Player. It used machine learning to learn the user's listening habit.
In 2004, Zuckerberg launched Facebook from Harvard. He left Harvard in his second year to complete his project—Facebook. Helped by his college roommates and fellow Harvard students, Facebook expanded rapidly, reaching one billion users by 2012.
In 2003, Zuckerberg met Priscilla Chan, at a party during his second year at Harvard. They have been dating since their Harvard days. In 2010, they got married and had their first baby, Maxima. The couple announced on their Chinese New Year video that their daughter's Chinese name is Chen Mingyu. On 18 March, 2016, while visiting Beijing, he posted on Facebook, "It's great to be back in Beijing! I kicked off (开始) my visit with a run through Tiananmen Square, past the Forbidden City and over to the Temple of Heaven."

Our dog Abbey died last month. My 4-year-old daughter Lucy missed her a lot and asked if we could write a letter to God to make sure he could look after Abbey well. I told Lucy that I thought we could, and she dictated(口述) these words:
Dear God, ①you, take, dog, of, will, care, my, please(?) She died yesterday and is with you in heaven. I miss her very much. I am happy that you let me have her as my dog even though she got sick. I hope you will play with her. She likes to swim and play with balls. I am sending a picture of her, so when you see her, you will know that she is my dog. I really miss her. love, Lucy |
We put the letter in an envelope with a picture of Abbey and Lucy and addressed it to God/Heaven. Yesterday, we received a package addressed "To Lucy" with this note:
Dear Lucy, Abbey has arrived in heaven. She isn't sick any more. ②Her spirit is here with me just like it stays in your heart. Abbey loved being your dog. You don't need to worry about her. She's being looked after very well here. Thank you for the beautiful letter and thank your mother for helping you write it and sending it to me. ③You have a wonderful mother. I send my blessings every day and remember that I love you very much. By the way, I'm easy to find. I am wherever there is love. Love, God |
