What I learned from reading "Moving The Mountain: My life in China from the Cultural Revolution to Tiananmen Square" (https://a.co/d/f1QXdIR) by Li Lu. Charlie Munger said that Li Lu was the only outsider he ever trusted with his money. Decades before Li Lu made Munger half a billion dollars, Li survived one of the most horrific childhoods imaginable: Born into poverty, abandoned, hungry, beaten, surrounded by death. Persistent. Smart. Disciplined. Intensely curious. Obsessed with reading and learning. Determined to escape. This is a story you absolutely cannot miss. https://www.founderspodcast.com/ Full Transcript and Show Notes: https://www.founderspodcast.com/episodes/26030545/senra-362-li-lu David Senra: https://x.com/FoundersPodcast?s=20
