 FAQs

  • I came from Kuitun City in Xinjiang province. I had been there for 18 years. Then I graduated as a law student from Jilin University in China, earning my Bachelor's degree in Changchun city in 2023. Then I came to Amsterdam and finished my master's degree of international business law in 2024.

    These 3 places have similarities. First of all, they are cold in the winter. My hometown trained me to be a coldness-proof person. Secondly, they are cyclist-friendly. My hometown can even compete with Amsterdam in this sense. Finally, people seem not to care about fashion. Admittedly, there are chic people. But the cold weather limits our fashion sense.

    Looking back, the biggest gain over these years wasn’t just the knowledge from books, but the fact that I’ve lived in different places, adapted to new environments and even new accents, and learned to connect with people from all over the world.

  • I once worked in the finance world as a sort of “risk detective,” combing through documents to uncover the little secrets hidden between the lines. Client due diligence, compliance checks, risk assessments… it might sound dull, but in reality, it was more like a workplace detective drama — only the main characters were me and a pile of Excel spreadsheets.

  • I am results-oriented, highly adaptable, and thrive in cross-cultural environments. I value open communication, structured planning, and proactive collaboration to ensure goals are met efficiently.

  • I often serve as a connector—linking different departments, stakeholders, and cultural backgrounds to ensure alignment, understanding, and smooth project execution.

“She’s the funniest law student I’ve ever met — somehow makes international law sound like stand-up comedy. Also, her cooking? Next-level. Living with her means great stories, better food, and zero boring days.”
