Misc

Outside research and studying, I am a huge fan of sports, especially soccer, track & field and Formula One. I also enjoy a variety of hobbies, including playing the piano, volunteering, and being a vlogger. Subscribe me on Bilibili!

Sports

Representing Tsinghua

I spent two wonderful years as a starting right-back on the Tsinghua Amateur Soccer Team, where I had the privilege of training alongside an outstanding coach and teammates. We won the 2020 Beijing University Soccer Championship and finished as third in Beijing in 2021.

In parallel, I was also a member of the Tsinghua Amateur Long-Distance Running Team (中长跑二队). I won a bronze medal in the men’s 4×100m relay and another bronze in the mixed 4×400m relay at the 13th Beijing Universities Autumn Track and Field Meet.

Sports in Tsinghua CST

The Department of Computer Science and Technology (affectionately nicknamed “酒井”) has a strong and vibrant sports culture. As a member of the “酒井” team and the captain of our department’s running team, I truly enjoyed training, competing, and winning alongside my teammates in the annual Tsinghua Ma Yuehan Cup.

I also carry with me a belief often shared at Tsinghua—“为祖国健康工作五十年”—striving to stay healthy and contribute meaningfully over a lifetime.

Running

I started running as a member of my primary school’s track and field team. In high school, I won the Beijing No. 4 High School Long-Distance Championship (北京四中长跑冠军赛) three consecutive times. During my undergrad years at Tsinghua University, I earned 10 medals in the Ma Yuehan Cup Track & Field Games.

After moving to the U.S., I stopped running for about a year and a half following my first year here, which led to suboptimal health and some weight gain. When I eventually returned to running, I rediscovered its joy—with a different mindset.

Although I am no longer as fast as before, I’ve embraced longer distances and now see running as a way to explore cities and experience places more deeply.

In 2025, I completed my first full marathon at the Marine Corps Marathon with a time of 3 hours 26 minutes—a goal I had set during my undergraduate years and finally achieved.

Races in 2026

I look forward to running in more places around the world and am always happy to connect with fellow runners.

Volunteering

Since I was in primary school, I has been volunteering for more than 580 hours. During high school, I served as a volunteer tour guide at the beautiful Former Residence of Soong Ching-ling. I was privileged to be a doping control chaperone at Yanqing Sliding Center for Beijing 2022 Winter Olympics. Here are some photos!
