Brief Biographical Sketch:

I grew up in Beijing and spent most of my life there before coming to England for 2 years of high school, after which I came here for college. I have taken both Chinese history classes in high school in China and several history / foreign culture course on China here at Harvard. In this class, I'll try my best to balance the Western and the Eastern view on China.

I enjoy teaching. Last year, I was a teaching fellow of the undergraduate introduction course to Computer Science at Harvard
