S u Hua is a Chinese technology entrepreneur who co-founded and built Kuaishou into one of China's largest and most popular short-video and live-streaming platforms. A gifted programmer, he worked as an engineer at both Google in Silicon Valley and the Chinese search giant Baidu before venturing out on his own. In 2013, he joined forces with Kuaishou's original founder, Cheng Yixiao, who had created an early GIF-making tool. While Cheng was the product visionary, Su became the CEO and was the strategic mastermind who transformed the app into a massive social media platform.

Kuaishou became incredibly popular, particularly in China's smaller cities and rural areas, by focusing on authentic, user-generated content that reflected the lives of ordinary people. This differentiated it from its main rival, ByteDance's Douyin (the Chinese version of TikTok), which often featured more polished content. As CEO, Su led the company's massive growth, monetization through live-streaming e-commerce, and its highly successful IPO on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange in 2021, which made him a multi-billionaire. He stepped down as CEO in 2021 but remains the company's chairman.
