Zhou Qunfei is the richest self-made woman billionaire in the world, according to new data, after her predecessor plummeted from billions to zero when she was sued for fraud.
根据新数据，周群飞目前是全球最富有的白手起家的女亿万富翁，而之前排名第一位的女富豪因为欺诈资产从数十亿缩水为零。
Zhou, the 47-year-old founder of Lens Technology, which makes glass screens for iPhones, instantly became a multi-billionaire when her company went public in 2015.
周群飞，47岁的蓝思科技有限公司创始人，为iPhone制作玻璃屏幕，公司2015年上市后不久，她立即跻身于亿万富翁之列。
She is estimated to be worth $9.2 billion, found Bloomberg and reported by Time. Her company is worth around $11 billion.
据《时代周刊》报道，她的身价约92亿美元。其公司价值大约110亿美元。
Her number one status replaces Elizabeth Holmes, the 33-year-old founder of healthcare tech firm Theranos, who was worth $4.5 billion but lost her cash when she was sued for fraud.
在她之前世界女首富是Elizabeth Holmes，33岁，是一家健康医疗公司的创始人，身价约45亿美元，但因欺诈被起诉后，失去了名下所有资产。
Born in China, the country with the most woman billionaires in the world, she benefited from the Chinese Communist party’s commitment to gender equality which “allowed women to flourish after capitalism started to take hold”, Huang Yasheng, an MIT professor, told the New York Times.
周群飞出生在女富豪人数最多的中国，麻省理工学院教授黄亚胜告诉纽约时报：周得益于中国共产党的性别平等政策即“资本主义开始后，女性要繁荣起来”。
She grew up on a farm and dropped out of high school age 16. She started working on the factory floor for a watch lens company, and attended evening classes in subjects like accounting and fire safety at Shenzhen University.
周群飞自小在农场长大，16岁高中辍学后在一个手表镜片公司工作，并在深圳大学读会计和消防安全的夜间课程。
“I had a mentality back then that I only wanted to learn whether you paid me or not. I had a pursuit different from others because they all came from downtown areas with money but I didn’t have any. All I wanted is to change my destiny with my own efforts.”
她说：“那个时候我的心态就是只想知道别人是否给我钱。我同别人的追求不一样，因为他们都是来自城市里的有钱人，但是我没有钱。我只想通过自身努力改变我的命运。”
At the age of 22 and with a few thousand dollars, she founded her own company making watch lenses in 1993.
1993年，在她22岁这年，她用数千美元成立了自己的公司，生产手表镜片。
She told the Australian Financial Review: "During the period of China’s rapid economic growth, there were plenty of opportunities for entrepreneurs, including women.
她告诉《澳大利亚金融评论》记者，“中国经济飞速发展时期给予了包括女性在内的企业家充足的机遇。”
"It allowed me to develop my business."
“我也因此有机会发展自己的事业。”
She added that she “didn’t regret” going into business. In the village where she grew up, she said girls did not often have a choice whether to continue their schooling, and would get married and stay in the same place for their entire lives.
她继续说，她不后悔经商。在她长大的村庄里，女孩们常常没有办法选择是继续学业还是结婚永远留在同一个地方。
In 2003, after running her company for a decade, Motorola phoned Zhou and asked if she wanted to help develop a scratch-proof glass lens for its new Razr V3 phone.
2003年是她经营自己的公司的第十个年头，摩托罗拉给周群飞打电话，询问她是否有兴趣为其新款Razr V3手机开发防刮玻璃镜片。
Orders then followed from HTC, Nokia and Samsung. In 2007, Apple launched its first iPhone, and also contacted Zhou.
接着便是HTC、诺基亚和三星的订单。2007年，苹果推出了第一款iPhone，也联系了周群飞。
Five years later Zhou had factories in three cities. In 2017, it has 32 factories and employs more than 90,000 staff.
五年后，周群飞在三个城市有了自己的工厂。2017年，拥有了32家工厂，雇用90000了多名员工。
