Ban Ki-moon was born in June 1944, 13 in a small town in Chungcheongbuk-do, South Korea. His real name is Yao Jiwen and his mother's surname is Pan. After his father's death, the two places separated, following his mother's surname, and he was the ninth grandson of the Yao family, an important branch of the Yao family. He got excellent grades and studied hard since he was a child. He is regarded as a good student. As early as when he was young, Ban Ki-moon was determined to become a diplomat. As a student, he was lucky enough to be invited by the American Red Cross to go to the United States to receive then President Kennedy. When Ban Ki-moon left for the United States, he held a grand farewell ceremony for him. Among them, a female student from Zhongzhou Girls' High School presented him with a bamboo screen symbolizing good luck on behalf of the school. Coincidentally, this female student became Ban Ki-moon's wife several years later. He and his wife, Ms. Yao Chunze (also the ninth generation grandson of the Yao family in Nanyuan, an important branch of the Yao family in Jingkai) have a son and two daughters. Ban Ki-moon is proficient in English and French, as well as German and Japanese, and also knows some Chinese.
