Mr. He Juxing was born in 1960 in a rural village in Zhuji, Zhejiang Province. When he was young, he was inspired by the five-generation-legacy of his literary family. Curious and imaginative as he was, he read widely from the various books brought by his older brother. At the age of 14, he published a short essay in the Zhejiang daily newspaper Qianjiang Chao and received the first remuneration of his life. For many years afterward, occasional remuneration have been an important source of his living. In 1979 he served in the army and entered the Department of Journalism at the Nanjing Army College and later was enrolled in the Department of Chinese Language and Literature at East China Normal University. He founded a military bookstore on Changde Road in Shanghai in the 1980s-90s, then he launched a military magazine. Mr He has also won a third-class honour in the army for his writing, and was promoted to a high rank. After his demobilisation in 1997, he participated in the early development of China's first private bank. During the difficult start-up, he led the establishment of institution regulations and personnel system at the core decision-making level of the company. He also led the establishment of its cultural brand and art institutions during his career until his resignation in 2012.

Mr. He Juxing has always been a passionate art enthusiast since his days in the university, focusing on contemporary cultural studies and the comparative study of contemporary avant-garde art, and maintains a close personal relationship with many of his contemporaries. He also has an extensive collection of experimental artworks of various genres, including over 400 Chinese and international artists, with thousands of masterpieces. Mr. He's collection is a significant influence in the art world.

From 2006 to 2010, Mr. He Juxing was the director of the Yan Huang Art Museum in Beijing, where he launched the series exhibition "China Twentieth-Century Art Founder", reshaping the historical significance of study on Chinese modernity and modern culture. In the meantime, Mr. He was in charge of the establishment of the Minsheng Museum of Modern Art in Shanghai and the Minsheng Museum of Modern Art in Beijing. He is an influential researcher and promoter of Chinese contemporary art, the series projects and exhibitions initiated by him have established the importance of Chinese contemporary art in the art museum system.

In 2015, Mr. He was invited by the Shanghai government to establish a private museum in his name, the Start Museum. In accordance with the city plan, the Start Museum is located on the site of China's first railway station, built in 1907 (the 33rd year of the reign of the emperor Guangxu). The pioneering French architect Jean Nouvel was responsible for the architecture design, and graphic designers Mr. Wang Xu and Mr. beio for the visual identity and official website respectively. Since its formation in Hong Kong in 2015, the Start Museum preparatory team has been working diligently for eight years. The team is constantly trained through diverse research projects, with a sense of commitment and responsibility as if being called upon at all times.

Mr. He Juxing has an independent research perspective and his own standpoint of art. He believes that art begins with the beginning of mankind and ends with the extinction of human beings. From this, he derives his views on art, artists, and all research and discussion on the specific relationships between art and politics, society, natural forms and more.

Mr. He Juxing believes that the existence of art museums in China is like a fish tank for people to enjoy. He remains convinced that creating the first drop of water is of great importance, for it is perhaps the drop that starts the future rivers and oceans.
