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 right-back on the Tsinghua Amateur Soccer Team, training under the guidance of our outstanding coach, Prof. Qize He, alongside an exceptional group of 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!
