Stand under it first.
One scroll, one camera move: down the crown to the trunk, in through the bark to the rings, then all the way back out to the whole tree.
SCROLL ↓Childhood: dance, drawing, piano — and the three questions
Started dance at five, drawing and piano at ten. Primary-school weekends were packed with things I chose myself: dance class in the morning, voice in the afternoon, piano in the evening, then the library and the book mall after class.
B.Sc. · Applied Psychology (Shanghai Normal University)
Applied Psychology, GPA 3.74/4, ranked 2nd of 65 in the major; IELTS 7.5. Studying in Shanghai had been a dream since childhood.
Cross-university minor · Industrial Design (Shanghai Jiao Tong University)

Exchange year in the US · all of junior year
Exchanged at Southern Connecticut State University (GPA 3.76/4, Dean's List) and Bridgewater State University (GPA 3.94/4, Dean's List). Four planned months became a year: stranded in Seattle by Omicron, then transferred to a Massachusetts state school; kept going to MIT for lectures and libraries; earned the money for my own flight home.
The fork: UBC Computer Science × MiraclePlus
Received an offer for a second degree in Computer Science at the University of British Columbia and completed registration, without going on campus; at the same time interned at MiraclePlus (formerly YC China) on the startup camp and community: ran the camp end to end, working with 60+ startup projects and 200+ founders, hosted a thousand-person investor demo day, bootcamp NPS above 90%. In the end I withdrew my enrollment at UBC to go all in on innovation and entrepreneurship.
Co-founder & COO · digital-persona platform
A seed-stage digital-persona platform valued in the tens of millions of RMB. I owned everything outside product R&D and design: the full 0→1 commercialization loop, an AI product evaluation framework, PMF validation in education (600+ students in beta), a cold-start seed community (a hundred-person core community in two months, 7,000+ user growth), and a Xiaohongshu operations SOP (50+ posts, 45.8k reads at peak).
Head of global creator growth · Medeo, an AI video product

Featured project · the “好好说话” tennis court (AdventureX hackathon)
Project lead. Turned psychology theory into a real-time AI feedback system: conversation abstracted as a tennis rally, with judging, attacking and boundary-crossing defined as balls hit over the net, scored live with points gained and lost. Defined the requirements, designed the interaction and built it alone in 48 hours; validated with 170+ users on site.
Featured project · AI for good: an AI mental-health nonprofit
Core volunteer. Worked with counselors, ML and product teams across the full model-development loop; from 22 sets of real counseling transcripts, co-defined dimensions like empathy, positive regard and goal alignment with psychology experts, building a quality-evaluation system for AI counseling — presented at a UN mental-health forum; owned the website launch and beta recruiting, with 1,000+ beta users and 30 in-depth interviews.
Now · HKUST MPhil in Technology Innovation and Entrepreneurship
The Technology Innovation and Entrepreneurship MPhil at HKUST. Coming back to research with the questions that grew out of building — the tree's current ring, and the doorway to Research (the seeds).
One tree, still growing on a thin hilltop.
Ten rings, one trunk, and roots wider than the crown. 向上生长，先向下扎根 — what holds this up is wider than what shows above ground. These four are what the trunk is made of; each grew because a specific year demanded it.
