And I quote from the above source which is from a 2015 New Yorker interview with Zhang:

'I asked Zhang, “Are you very smart?” and he said, “Maybe, a little.” He was born in Shanghai in 1955. His mother was a secretary in a government office, and his father was a college professor...As a small boy, he began “trying to know everything in mathematics,” he said. “I became very thirsty for math.”...The [Cultural] revolution had closed the schools. He spent most of his time reading math books that he ordered from a bookstore for less than a dollar.'

As well:

'...when he was fifteen he was sent with his mother to the countryside...where they grew vegetables. His father was sent to a farm in another part of the country. If Zhang was seen reading books on the farm, he was told to stop...After a few years, he returned to Beijing, where he got a job in a factory making locks. He began studying to take the entrance exam for Peking University, China’s most respected school: “I spent several months to learn all the high-school physics and chemistry, and several to learn history. It was a little hurried.” He was admitted when he was twenty-three.'

Technically speaking, if you want to exceed the limit, you can send in an application form to explain and hopefully get approved to take out more money than that $50,000 limit but the original intent of this law was to restrict money flowing out of China and it is very hard to get approved beyond the limit.
