Zhao Zirui was born in guanxian, Liaocheng City, Shandong Province on June 23rd, 198 1. His parents are farmers, and Zhao Zirui is the second child. Since childhood, he has helped his family do some farm work. In Zhao Zirui's view, all farm work such as firewood collection, weeding and harvesting must be done by someone. Only by working more can the burden on father be lightened. Zhao Zirui has developed the quality of hard work since he was a child. When Zhao Zirui was in primary school, he liked to read ancient chivalrous novels such as The Journey to the West and The Water Margin. At that time, his family was poor and there was no TV set. The books that my father bought from the county town can satisfy the quiet and studious boy Rui to stay at home and read books, because my father doesn't want him to go out and get into trouble.

After graduating from primary school, Zhao Zirui learned a lot of cultural knowledge and the truth of being a man in junior high school for three years and senior high school for two years. Zhao Zirui discussed with his parents, hoping to take part in the work as soon as possible according to the family's economic situation, so as to reduce the family's economic burden. Parents thought Zhao Zirui was a sensible child, so they sent Zhao Zirui, who was only 18 years old, to his uncle's auto parts company as an apprentice.

When Zhao Zirui first came to a big city from the countryside, he began to find it particularly interesting. He often watches movies, goes shopping and plays games in Internet cafes, which makes his uncle very angry. His uncle said, "How can you waste precious time learning skills and techniques from an early age?" Please go back if you don't do it well! "My uncle's words deeply touched Zhao Zirui's heart. Zhao Zirui made up his mind not to disappoint his uncle again, and became interested in car repair. From learning mechanical knowledge to replacing clutch cables and lighting lamps, he gradually learned to repair automobile wiring and circuits until the appearance of sheet metal. Zhao Zirui spent three years doing all kinds of things in car repair, and also learned to drive. Seeing Zhao Zirui's progress, his uncle smiled.

Zhao Zirui is a man who pursues something in his career. After having a steady job, Zhao Zirui began to weave his dream of winning the championship at an early age. Zhao Zirui had an excellent arm strength since childhood, shot put was the first in the school, and he never lost in wrestling. Zhao Zirui came to Beijing Sports School to find a place to practice weightlifting, but the weightlifting coach said that he had to start training at the age of 12. Just when Zhao Zirui was at a loss, he saw the news of a wrist competition in Beijing. Zhao Zirui went straight to Shougang Gymnasium in Shijingshan, Beijing, and signed up for the second Beijing Fitness Club Challenge "Orrit Cup". Zhao Zirui began to know nothing about wrist games. Xie Weidong, the referee, demonstrated hand in hand Zhao Zirui's movements from preparation posture to strength. Zhao Zirui thinks that there are many profound points in the wrist competition, which is not a simple matter. He must learn with an open mind. After Zhao Zirui's heartfelt experience and years of practice, Zhao Zirui's winning opponent won the men's 80-kilogram championship, holding a glittering trophy. Zhao Zirui happily went back and handed the championship trophy to his uncle, who said, "This is your first trophy. You should send it to your hometown to let the whole village know that you are the champion of wrist strength and you are the pride of the whole village! " Zhao Zirui listened to his uncle, and sure enough, the whole family was very happy.
