As a PhD student at HKUST, I realize life here is full of challenges, which always go along with chances, the chance to turn you into a good researcher and the chance to teach you how to deal with unfamiliar or even difficult situations with calm and confidence. Finally you just find with no surprise that after years of training in HKUST, you are already fully-prepared for a challenging and exciting future. HKUST life helps me enjoy my present life, and will also enable me to enjoy my life in the future.

Through the Asian Future Leaders Scholarship Program (AFLSP), I have learned and understood more about different cultures in Asia, especially about the relations between China and Japan. Also, the one-month summer camp organized by AFLSP has taught me about the problems that the countries in Asia were facing and how we could help fix them through different discussions. What's more, I have made some great friends whom I treasure for life.

I fell in love with HKUST at first sight, deeply impressed by the fantastic sea views and the exquisite buildings. During the past three years, I have enjoyed doing research with outstanding, diligent and inspirational professors in the field of linguistics. I also enjoy walking around for a break and the magnificent views are an inspiration. I am sure that my experience in HKUST will have a long-lasting influence on my whole life, both academically and personally.
