Xu admired Einstein since he was a child. Because his uncle works in the nuclear industry department, Xu hopes to be a scientist when he grows up. When Xu was a sophomore, his father suddenly died of illness. In order to reduce the family burden and give my mother some comfort, Xu took the college entrance examination in advance. Although he hasn't studied for nearly a year and a half, Xu applied for his ideal major with confidence. When he published the list, his score exceeded the professional score. The Admissions Office may have seen that he was only a sophomore, and worried that Xu's foundation was not solid, so he transferred him to the library and information major of Sun Yat-sen University.

Perhaps it is this dislocation that gives Xu the deepest understanding of "fate is in my hands". His four-year college life was spent like this: it took him a year to figure out what "library management" is; Sophomore and junior students began to adjust their direction to enrich themselves; In his senior year, he began to publish papers on "computer retrieval" in professional journals. After graduating from undergraduate course, Xu Liangjie continued to study for a master's degree at Sun Yat-sen University, and he wanted to continue his studies. But at that time, no university in China had a doctorate in this major, so he could only look abroad. Xu applied to several schools, such as the University of California, Berkeley, and was accepted successfully, even though he never took the GRE exam.

When Xu talks about himself, there will be many short stories, one of which is the visa to the consulate before going to the United States. When he applied for a visa with an acceptance letter from the University of California, Berkeley, the visa officer asked him why he wanted to study abroad. Xu replied that because no school in China enrolled doctoral students who missed his major, the visa officer gave him a seal without saying anything.

The University of California at Berkeley is one of the top research universities in the United States. During Xu's five years in Berkeley, the principal was. The late Dr. Chang-Lin Tian was the first China president of a top American university. He not only broke through his own bottleneck, but also created many "exclamation points" for Chinese in the United States. President Tian's style of "treating others sincerely and working hard" had a far-reaching impact on Xu's later career. Xu realized the wish of "academic plus practice" at the University of California, Berkeley, and devoted himself to the research of search engines. Perhaps it is inevitable that advanced technology will be applied to business. Xu didn't stay in school to do academic work, but devoted himself to the high-tech industry in Silicon Valley. From 65438 to 0996, Berkeley-TREC5, a search engine designed by Xu, won the gold medal in the global competition initiated by the US Department of Defense. He and his tutor published in the university newspaper of California. Because his research results can promote the development of commercial search engines, coupled with its strong potential background, Xu, who has not graduated, has been taken a fancy to by venture capitalists. That summer, when he was writing the last chapter of his doctoral thesis, he received a phone call from a famous venture capital institution in Silicon Valley, saying that he was looking forward to participating in a new project. Xu was taken to Silicon Valley. "I was immediately attracted by the computer configuration there." At that time, the super configuration of SUN 4000 server and 2G memory was very attractive to Xu. In addition, his research results can be directly applied to search engines, prompting Xu Yu 1996 to join the high-tech industry in Silicon Valley and become one of the earliest pioneers in the Internet industry.
