Early life edit
Hu Shuli was born in Beijing. Her grandfather, Hu Zhongchi, was a translator and editor at Shen Bao and his older brother Hu Yuzhi (1896–1986), "an early proponent of language reform, the use of Esperanto, and realism in literature," was involved in editing and publishing.[3] Her mother, Hu Lingsheng, was a senior editor at Workers' Daily. Her father, Cao Qifeng, had a midlevel post in a trade union. Hu also has an older sister named Cao Zuoya (曹佐雅), who studied in San Diego State University.[4]
Hu Shuli attended Beijing's prestigious 101 Middle School. When college classes resumed in 1978, she won entrance to the Renmin University of China (People's University of China), from which she graduated in journalism in 1982. She studied development economics as a Knight Journalism Fellow at Stanford University in 1994. In 2002, she earned an EMBA through a joint program between Fordham University and the China Center for Economic Research at Peking University.
Career edit
Before Caijing, she was working as assistant editor, reporter and international editor at the Worker's Daily, China's second largest newspaper. She joined China Business Times in 1992 as international editor and became chief reporter in 1995, resigning in 1998 to start Caijing. In addition, Hu served as financial news chief for Phoenix TV in 2001.
She is author of several books, including New Financial Time, Reform Bears No Romance and The Scenes Behind American Newspapers.[5]
She was a Knight Journalism Fellow at Stanford in 1994.[6] She was awarded the 2003 International Editor of the Year by the World Press Review[7] and the 2007 Louis Lyons Award for Conscience and Integrity in Journalism by the Nieman Foundation at Harvard University.[8][9]
She was the founder of Caijing magazine in 1998. In November 2009, Hu Shuli resigned from Caijing along with 90 percent of Caijing's journalists, barely a few weeks after the resignation of Daphne Wu Chuanhui and nearly 70 employees from the business department,[10] and created the breakthrough new media group, Caixin Media and acted as editor-in-chief.[11] Diane Vacca quoted Chinese blogger Hecaitou: "She's got blood on her blade, and her clothing smells of gunpowder.”[12]
