Anna Wu

Met 2025-12-06 08:00 at InterContinental Shanghai Ruijin, Shanghai.

From Anhui province, and parents have only middle school education, so when Anna did well on the gaokao exam, her parents chose her university: a maritime university in Shanghai, doing shipping logistics.

Lived a year in Hong Kong, worked for shipping companies for the past 10 years, mostly European but recently Singaporean which has a different work culture.

She's super into road cycling, fast racing, competitive.

Did the week-long vipassana silent meditation here.

Went to Dali 大理 for a month and says it's a 50/50 split of the ambitious versus unambitious or lost.

Curious about passion.
