A Bit About Me
Thanks to my inspiring teachers, my journey with English began in junior high school. Starting as a struggling student, I worked my way to the top of my class and was encouraged to major in English. Embracing the challenge, I excelled and eventually decided to study abroad. I pursued my master's and doctoral degree in language studies in Hong Kong, guided by Prof. Liu Meichun and Prof. Johnathan Webster. After graduation, I joined the education field as an early-career professional, eager to explore new academic adventures.
