In today's rapidly changing technology era, the story of the Google Mafia provides us with abundant inspiration. These Chinese elites who once worked in the world's most innovative company have returned to China with technological dreams and entrepreneurial spirit, creating a new landscape.

Innovation spirit is the most distinctive characteristic of the Google Mafia. Google founders like Sergey Brin and Larry Page encouraged employees to think about things others considered fantasy and put them into practice

Embracing failure is another important lesson. Google co-founder Sergey Brin once talked about his early failure experience where they tried to create a system to order pizza online using fax machines. The idea failed, but this failure laid the foundation for creating Google later

Simplicity and passion are common traits among the Google Mafia. Despite being incredibly wealthy, Brin and other Google leaders didn't indulge in comfort but instead worked daily with their teams in the lab, going multiple days without shaving to complete projects

The concept of work-life balance is also worth learning from. Google CEO Eric Schmidt pointed out: "Our goal is to keep you as connected to computers as possible, but also know where to turn them off. You may spend time in computers, but life is about the people around you."

The experience of Google Mafia member Zhao Yong is particularly inspiring. He gave up the excellent working environment at Google to return to China to start a business, experienced five relocations, moving from luxury apartments to ordinary residential houses, and finally found a Chinese garden as an office space
