- I obtained a Ph.D. from MIT at the age of 25, a Bachelor of Science degree from USTC at 19, and a High School diploma at 15.
- A native Mandarin speaker, fluent in English, I have been living in the States from my teen years.
- I believe education is holistic, that most naturally engages mind, emotion, physicality, and spirit.
- I enjoy talking with all people, especially with young people.
- I believe character development has long lasting impact to life, while academic excellence is the icing on the cake.
- I was an atheist, I am a Christian. Most young people find it impossible to fit me into a Christian stereotype.
- I believe a good educator takes up his/her role as a tour guide, while knowledge is the scene.
- I believe a good educator should be a good listener, and with a good sense of humor.
