A typical Shanghainese who has lived in Japan for more than 10 years. Sometimes it is even difficult for me to identify myself.  

   I received my Ph.D. (economics) from Osaka University, Japan. I used to be a sales engineer and project manager working for the private sector, before I came back to the graduate school.

    I've been to many countries-------the US, Brazil, France, Italy, Korea, Thailand, Malaysia, Philippines, etc. Either for work, internship, research or travel. Going on a journey always enriches my insight into cultural diversity and internationalization. Those experiences also gave me an open heart to accept challenges and embrace freedom.
