Earned my first degree in English language and literature from Sichuan University, Master's from the University of Nottingham. Currently a doctoral student at Newcastle University, England. Have been involved in farming, translation and interpreting for international companies, teaching at tertiary level, international trade, and training programme management. Farming? Yes. I used to be one of the one billion Chinese farmers. And I am still working as hard as those farmers are, wishing to harvest a brighter mind and a golden heart.
