Hua Su

Hua Su is a Chinese technology entrepreneur best known as the co-founder and former CEO of Kuaishou, the short-video platform that helped define China's mobile content era. Born in Yongshun County, Xiangxi, he showed early intellectual promise — speaking at seven months and reciting the *Ballad of Mulan* by age three, per a 2026 profile by 十字路口Crossing . He dropped out of a U.S. doctoral program and returned to China, where in 2013 he met product-minded founder Yixiao Cheng in a "Long March rendezvous" that 五源资本, an early backer, later described as pairing "a genius product manager and a technology geek" to build a mobile短视频 powerhouse . Su joined as CEO through a technical equity stake, with Cheng reportedly handing over 40% of his shares and the top role . Under Su's leadership, Kuaishou reached 1 million daily active users within a year and 10 million six months after that, before listing on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange in February 2021 . He has since stepped back from day-to-day management, though the exact timing of his transition is not covered in elsewhere's corpus. His investment ties run deep with 五源资本, which backed Kuaishou from angel stage . Elsewhere's corpus does not contain detailed material on his activities post-Kuaishou.
