Philosophy
"Endure hardship without bitterness, remember your roots even in success."
"子曰，知之者不如好之者，好之者不如樂之者。" — Confucius
These principles guide both my research and my approach to sharing knowledge. I believe in the importance of perseverance in research while maintaining humility and gratitude for the opportunities to learn and grow.
