Zhu was born in Feixi County, Anhui, in March 1965. In 1981, he was accepted to Anhui Institute of Finance and Trade (now Anhui University of Finance and Economics), where he majored in finance and monetary. He joined the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) in July 1985 upon graduation. After graduating in 1985, he did his postgraduate work at the Graduate Department of the People's Bank of China and worked in its Financial Management Department since August 1988.
