Beyond Mathematics

Badminton: Strategic Thinking in Motion

Badminton serves as my primary stress reliever and mental reset mechanism. The sport’s combination of quick reflexes, strategic positioning, and precise execution mirrors the analytical thinking required in mathematical research. Our team’s achievement of 3rd-4th place in the collegiate badminton championship reflects not just athletic prowess, but the collaborative problem-solving skills that translate directly to academic teamwork.

Mountain Hiking: Conquering Heights, One Step at a Time

Mountain hiking embodies the essence of mathematical pursuit - the gradual ascent toward seemingly impossible peaks through persistent effort and strategic planning. Each trail presents unique challenges that require adaptation and resilience, qualities essential in mathematical research. My goal is to conquer China’s Five Great Mountains and the iconic Huangshan, with Mount Everest representing the ultimate mathematical theorem waiting to be proven.

DOTA2: Strategic Gaming and Team Dynamics

Contrary to common misconceptions about gaming, DOTA2 represents a sophisticated platform for strategic thinking, real-time decision making, and team coordination. Attending The International 2019 was an inspiring experience that showcased the highest level of competitive strategy. Leading team LCANIUBI 2.0 to victory in the Chinese Level 3 Warrior League championship demonstrated leadership skills and tactical planning that complement my academic pursuits.
