Diversity
I come from a county under Qingdao, Shandong Province, where I completed my pre-university education. From county to city, I have developed a propensity for recognizing alternative views, and in doing so I have come to appreciate the importance of helping those less represented and underprivileged.

During the summer of my junior year, I volunteered as an English teacher in a nationally designated impoverished county in Henan Province. When I asked the students about their future aspirations, most were at a loss for words, unaware of the world beyond their village and the myriad opportunities it holds. Their vague dreams and limited understanding of the outside world made their learning feel lifeless. As volunteer teachers, our role extended beyond tutoring; we aimed to introduce them to the limitless possibilities life offers. Seeing them reminded me of my younger self. I shared stories of life beyond the village, describing the experiences of living in southern China as depicted in geography textbooks and highlighting the cultural differences and unique activities abroad, which they found astonishing.
Upon returning to campus, I joined a high school tutoring organization, progressing from a teaching assistant to a lecturer. When addressing students from across the country, I used examples from their classes and daily lives, gradually expanding to include broader economic, political, cultural, and geographical knowledge. This approach not only imparted indirect experiential knowledge but also created direct experiential learning opportunities.
Later, at the Tsinghua University SDG Olympiad Competition, I collaborated with friends from Vietnam, Thailand, and other countries to discuss Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). We found common ground in addressing educational inequality and proposed developing a metaverse game to help children in impoverished areas experience urban professions, guiding them toward distant goals. We also promoted our project through media platforms, aiming to expand its reach to different regions. We are all committed to spreading and creating equal educational opportunities.

One of my significant endeavors involved working with the Baoan ethnic minority to preserve their cultural heritage, the Baoan waist knives. Facing modern regulations restricting their transport that threatened their existence, our team utilized e-commerce platforms and live streaming to boost sales and created cultural documentaries to enhance their reputation. This project underscored the importance of innovative solutions in cultural preservation.
In Guizhou’s Daozhen County, our team leveraged the region’s unique tourism resources to promote economic development. By engaging in local activities and producing promotional videos, we garnered government support and highlighted the potential of cultural tourism in poverty alleviation. This experience demonstrated the power of media and community-driven initiatives in fostering economic growth.
Additionally, my work with an autistic child revealed the profound impact of tailored educational approaches. By designing activities that allowed him to learn at his own pace, we demonstrated that with the right support, every child can achieve academic success. This taught me the value of empathy, patience, and subtle mentorship.
Beyond these projects, I have actively participated as a volunteer in other activities that has equipped me with comprehensive skills and a drive for continuous improvement. They have enriched my understanding of cross-cultural dynamics and prepared me to contribute meaningfully to diverse academic and professional environments.
