Katie Zhou

Katie Zhou was born to Lee Zhou and Amanda Wilkins in 1970. Hong Kong. Her father **Lee** was a prominent Hong Kong businessman affiliated with the **Tien Tao**

**Meng**, a Hong Kong Triad which he later rose to be the head of. Her mother **Amanda** was an English born British citizen that was visiting Hong Kong for business when she met and fell in love with Lee.

Katie doesn’t recall her childhood with much clarity. He lived in Hong Kong with both her parents up until 1977., when her father’s criminal activity finally caught up to him. This led to his wife Amanda and young daughter Katie both being endangered so he made the hard decision to forcefully ship them out of Hong Kong. Amanda did not take lightly to this, vowing to Lee that if he sent them away, she’d never speak another word to him. Alas, Lee had no choice but to go through with the move and relocate his family. Amanda chose to live with her parents, Katie’s grandparents, in Coventry, United Kingdom.

Katie quickly took a liking to the English countryside and embraced the culture, language and people.

At this point she was barely seven and already **bilingual**, speaking both her father’s native **Cantonese** and her mother’s native **English**.

Soon it became apparent that Katie had a knack for numbers.

As she matured, Katie showed her immense love for animals and nature, taking up horse riding at the age of twelve.

Once she reached the required age she aced her driving exam and her love or horses slowly transitioned into a love of cars.

Upon finishing her high school education Katie was accepted into multiple renowned universities, but she settled on **Bullworth Academy** in Bullworth, New England, US.

There she studied a whole array of different topics, minoring in history, politics, economics and business, as well as her major – **mathematics**.

Katie graduated top of her class in 1992. and chose to move to the West Coast, San Fierro to be exact, to live with her uncle and find work. Unfortunately a string of events that same year led to his death and resulted in Katie moving to Los Santos and working as an accountant for the next four years, until one day she received a phone call…

In mid 1996. Katie, along with many of her associates **goes off the grid**, seemingly **vanishing** into the vast state of San Andreas. Little is known of their whereabouts, but many of them can still be seen in and around the Chinatown district.
