Ly Cha Vien was born in 1991 in Jinan, Shandong (China). When he was 8 years old, his parents divorced and Cha Vien lived with his mother. Because his parents were busy with work, they had little time to care for him, so he gradually became less talkative and his academic performance declined.

Worried about her son's situation, the mother decided to let Cha Vien go live with his grandfather. He was taught by his grandfather every day and taken everywhere to experience life. At the same time, his grandfather also enlightened him that even though his parents were divorced, they still loved Cha Vien.

Later, he also told Chá Viễn many stories about the great lives of scientists in China. This inspired him to become a useful person for the country. Under his guidance, Chá Viễn studied hard.

His grandfather helped him build a suitable study plan. At this time, the boy caught up with his friends and achieved many outstanding achievements in his studies. After graduating from junior high school, Cha Vien was admitted directly to Xiamen Foreign Language High School (China).

Aiming for Yale University (USA) as directed by his grandfather, Chá Viễn focused on studying from grade 10. However, the more he studied, the weaker he became and strayed from his goal. Taking the national university entrance exam while applying to schools in the US at the same time made Chá Viễn overloaded.

At that time, he decided not to take the entrance exam to Tsinghua University (China) to focus all his efforts on Yale University (USA). To reach his goal, Chá Viễn had to pass the TOEFL and SAT exams. Recalling that time, Chá Viễn said that he studied anytime, anywhere, from bed, on the table, even when taking a shower or going to the toilet. However, because of the wrong study method, he forgot the knowledge he had acquired immediately afterwards.

He determined that if he continued to study like that, no matter how hard he worked, it would be difficult to get into Yale University (USA). Realizing that his study method was unscientific, Chá Viễn found a way to study that suited him. With constant effort, the male student finally found a suitable method. As a result of taking the TOEFL and SAT exams, Chá Viễn scored 116/120 and 2,200/2,400, respectively.

With a near-perfect score, Chá Viễn received his acceptance letter from Yale University at the age of 18. He became the first student to be admitted to Yale University, majoring in Economics in Fujian (China). In addition, the male student also received a full scholarship worth 55,000 USD/year (1.3 billion VND) from the school.

In 2013, after graduating from university with honors, he received an offer from Microsoft. However, Chá Viễn refused to join the multinational investment bank Goldman Sachs. After working with the company for 2 years, he quit to start his own business. At the age of 24, he became the CEO of a company that created a travel application.

During the course of running the company, he encountered many difficulties. Therefore, in 2015, he decided to study for an MBA from Harvard University. During his time at Harvard, Chá Viễn published many academic articles.

In addition, some articles sharing his learning methods were also posted on public platforms. Thanks to that, he attracted a large number of readers. Taking advantage of both studying Cha Vien and summarizing his own methods, he published the book Learning Master .

The book received support from readers after its publication. Famous educator Chu Vinh Tan, MC Khang Huy of CCTV and Mr. Phan Dang - founder of the Reading Club all highly appreciated it. "In the book, I have systematized more than 100 practical learning methods. I believe it will be very useful for everyone," Cha Vien shared.

In 2017, after graduating with a master's degree from Harvard University, Cha Vien received an offer to stay at the school as a lecturer with a salary of 1 million USD/year (more than 24 billion VND). However, he refused to return home to start the LEO project, specializing in education to help many domestic students realize their dreams.

Cha Vien is considered an academic master, a national senior of the 9x generation. With the success achieved at the age of 28, Cha Vien is in the top 30 Under 30 of Forbes China Magazine in 2019.

Currently, not only is he a businessman, he is also the author of inspirational books such as: It's Best to Overcome; Becoming a Learning Master Is Not a Dream ; Elementary School Students Become Learning Masters and How to Advance Your Career...

Cha Vien's story and real-life experiences are shared, showing that each person has unlimited potential. No matter what path we take, we must be brave to pursue challenges, overcome all limits and become the best version.
