马化腾

When Ma Huateng, a computer engineer in the southern Chinese city of Shenzhen, set up his company 11 years ago, an English name was chosen for it to mimic the sound of the name in Chinese: Tengxun became Tencent.

11年前，中国深圳的电脑工程师马化腾在创立自己的公司时，选择了一个与公司中文名称腾讯读音相仿的英文名称：tencent。

Ma Huateng, CEO of Tencent, was named the third wealthiest man in China, according to Forbes' 2016 China Rich List.

根据《福布斯》2016年中国富豪榜显示，腾讯首席执行官马化腾被评为中国第三大富豪。

Pony Ma, who is founder and chief executive of Tencent Holdings, plans to cash in 100m company shares to make the donation to the Tencent Foundation, which gives money to healthcare, education and environmental protection in China, the company said yesterday.

腾讯控股（Tencent Holdings）昨日表示，创始人和首席执行官马化腾（Pony Ma）计划捐献1亿股腾讯股票给腾讯基金会（Tencent Foundation）。该基金会将向中国的医疗、教育和环保事业捐赠资金。
