Zuckerberg: Hello everyone, it's a pleasure to come to Beijing, I'm Zuckerberg. My Chinese is very bad, but I use it every day. I think I need to practice.

Moderator: You are very surprised that you can speak Chinese, why do you want to learn Chinese?

Zuckerberg: First, my wife is Chinese. She speaks Chinese at home and her grandmother only speaks Chinese. I want to talk to them. A few years ago, my wife and I decided to get married. I invited her grandmother in Chinese, she was very surprised. Second, I think why to learn Chinese, China is a great country, I think learning language can help me, so I want to learn. Third, Mandarin is very difficult, I always speak English, but I like the challenge.

Moderator: Well, we'll have to challenge tonight. How many times have you come to China?

Zuckerberg: four times. I have been to Beijing, Shanghai, Hangzhou and Tianjin.

Moderator: Tianjin? Why did you go to Tianjin?

Zuckerberg: When I was in Beijing, I had to take a quick train and I wanted to go to Tianjin to see Fearless's hometown. I like the film, so I'm going to have a look.

Moderator: It turns out that mark is fearless's big fans, so he must go to fearless's hometown to see. Which city do you like best?

Zuckerberg: I like Beijing best.

Moderator: So what's your plan for coming to China this time?

Zuckerberg: This week, I attended Tsinghua's Economic Management Advisory Committee, and I came to the Committee meeting. I think Tsinghua students are very good, next year we will start recruiting in China, last month we have just recruited 20 Chinese students.

Moderator: Can you tell me why you are attending the Tsinghua Institute of Economics and Management Advisory Committee?

Zuckerberg: First, I want to thank the Dean of Money. I am honored to participate in the Advisory Committee, I am very concerned about education, in the United States I have done a lot to support education. I feel that joining the Committee is a good opportunity to help me learn and support Chinese education.

Moderator: You have been to several other countries this month, what is the purpose of your trip?

Zuckerberg: I went to India, Indonesia, Korea and Japan. We want to help more people use the Internet. Today there are many people who do not use the Internet, they do not have Internet, they do not know why they use the Internet, but in this era, we need to connect everything, the role of the Internet is very important.

Moderator: You stressed the need to contact the world, when did you start to want to contact the world?

Zuckerberg: In 2004, I set up the first edition of Facebook because I wanted to contact all the students in Harvard, and I've always wanted to connect with the whole world. When I started Facebook, I told my friends that we were happy to help students connect with the world. Other companies do not believe we can do this, but we believe that so we now have 1.3 billion users.

Moderator: So in the past 10 years, Mark has built a great company, there are many students want to set up a company, what do you suggest?

Zuckerberg: I think the best company is not because the founders wanted to set up the company, but because the founders wanted to change the world. If you decide to set up a company, you may have a lot of ideas, but you don't know which idea is the best, and if your first thoughts are bad, your company will not be good. But if you want to change the world, have a good idea to set up a company, so you will get good development.

Moderator: What is your key to success in building Facebook?

Zuckerberg: I think the most important thing is that you can't give up. Most things will not go well and you will need to make difficult decisions and you will need to dismiss some employees. So if you believe in your mission, it is easy to give up, most founders will give up, only the last to adhere to the few founders.

Moderator: You are one of the most successful founders, what do you think of China's innovation?

Zuckerberg: I think there are a lot of innovative companies in China. Last night I had rice with millet lei, Millet is very innovative company, they develop very quickly, they have very good products, they are very cheap. I think millet will develop very quickly. In addition, Tencent's micro-letter is also very large, most Chinese use micro-mail or QQ. Taobao is also very innovative, it creates job opportunities. I think the Chinese have a lot of innovative companies.

Moderator: Mark is very fond of Chinese innovation. Speaking of China, what are your plans for Facebook in China?

Zuckerberg: We're already in China, we're helping Chinese companies grow foreign clients, and they're using Facebook ads, like Lenovo, to sell new handsets in Indonesia with Facebook ads. We want to help connect the rest of the world to China, such as Hangzhou and Qingdao, also have good Facebook pages. We work with the city to develop a page to share Chinese culture.

Moderator: Ask personal questions, life details, what color do you like?

Zuckerberg: I don't (like) red or green, because Facebook is blue.

Moderator: What Chinese food do you like?

Zuckerberg: I like Hutong snacks in Beijing, but I also like Beijing roast duck

Moderator: What activities do you have outside your work?

Zuckerberg: "Out of work" has no time. Besides, I will cook with my wife.

Host: Do you have a pet?

Zuckerberg: I have a dog named Beast (Beast), it's a sheepdog.

Moderator: Did you make a page for your dog?

Zuckerberg: Yes, it has a lot of fans.

Moderator: Next question, who do you and your wife speak Chinese better?

Zuckerberg: in Mandarin, I can say more words, and her hearing is better than mine. One day I asked her what I was hearing, and she said you had poor English listening.

Student: How did Facebook build its advantage over other campus social media in the early stages of development? When did you decide to drop out of business?

Zuckerberg: I'm lucky that I developed Facebook in the second year and I had to juggle my studies, and sometimes the school told me that you could come back, but now I can't come back.

Student: What is Facebook's biggest challenge?

Zuckerberg: Our biggest challenge may be that we need to turn Facebook into a mobile company by 2012. Not before, we grew very slowly in 2012, our income grew slowly, and everyone was unhappy, but we turned Facebook into a mobile company, and now we have 700 million people using Facebook on their phones.

Student: After mobile internet, what is the next major change technology

Zuckerberg: 10 years old this year, I asked what we should develop in the next decade, and I think we need to develop three: first, we want to connect the whole world, so we want to help everyone use the Internet, second, we want to develop artificial intelligence, the third is all people with mobile phones, I believe that the next platform is virtual reality (reality), Oculus is the first product, we hope that there are many other products.
