Mr Ken made Jack Ma, who was very far from his economic status, as a friend to his son “David”. Jack wrote letters diligently to practice his English skills. David replied. Later, Ken, David’s father was touched by Jack’s persistence. Later she invited Jack to her home in Australia, to spend a month there. Jack got a lot of inspiration from the visit. Done? Not yet.
