In winter, Liu Chuanzhi decided to bid farewell to the leisurely life of reading newspapers every day. He came from a scholarly family, with his maternal grandfather serving as the Minister of Finance for warlord Sun Chuanfang and his father being one of the earliest financiers of the Communist Party. That year, Liu Chuanzhi happened to be 40 years old. For this Shanghai native who appeared elegant on the outside but was very restless on the inside, he deeply knew what "forty years without confusion" meant to a Chinese man. Young Liu Chuanzhi's ideal was to become an air force pilot. After graduating from high school, he confidently applied to the aviation school but ultimately failed, which became his first setback in life. Later, he was admitted to a military electronic engineering college in Xi'an, majoring in radar. After graduation, he moved around half of China and even planted rice on a farm in Guangdong. In 1970, he was assigned to the Institute of Computing of the Chinese Academy of Sciences.
