Where are you from?
I am from SiChuan, China. Sichuan is a landlocked province in Southwest China. We speak a very unique form of Mandarin, which originated from the Ming dynasty. Now, there are more than 120 million people who speak the family of dialects.
What's your FIUTS story?
At the beginning of this year, I was involved in the leadership committee and worked with some amazing teammates, such as Kedi, Vincent, Kathryn and so on. Because we were very cooperative and eager to provide feedback and help each other, we successfully held an event called "FIUTS Leads" which primarily helped participants to explore their leadership styles and analyze how their specific leadership skills can lay a solid foundation for their future career.
How will you change the world?
In our life, there is an invisible power, which is different from ability and intelligence. It gives people a kind of magic power to listen to someone. This is influence. I want to be an influencer to inspire people around me like my parents who are successful entrepreneurs. Growing up, my parents have always been my biggest role models for success and a constant force of strength that keeps me marching forward despite occasional backward steps. They taught me a lot about how to become a better person and how to influence and help others. My parents words and deeds reflect their perspectives and attitudes towards the continuous improvement and progress of life. Because of the excellent atmosphere in my family, I’ve been pushed to continually improve myself and make progress to my goal.
