This Is My Friend‘s PS.

I was born in a highly educated family. My parents both graduated from college in 1967, at which time college students were quite rare in China. This background offers me better education from my parents when I was a child, thus leads to my outstanding academic performance from primary school to university. I have always been in the top 10 since my first year of primary school, and this record remains to my college graduation. I attended the Chinese Physics Olympiad (Gruandong Province) in 1993, when I was in the last year of high-school, and achieved second prize. I was awarded Outstanding Graduates in 1998 by both the Ministry of Electronics Industry (PRC) and my college. My elder sister also benefits from the family background, and she is a post graduate from Zhongshan School of Medicine, Sun Yat-sen University, graduated in 2005.

Though very successful in most time, there was one frustration. I graduated from high-school in 1994 and took Chinese College Entrance Examination the same year. According to the policy at that time we should apply to college for admission before taking the examination, and the decision will then be made based on the exam result. Based on my past performance, I applied to Peking University, one of the most famous university in China, for studying at their Electronics Engineering program. However the exam result of one course turned out to be unreasonably bad, for which I still do not know the reason, and I missed Peking University with only 7 points. My second application was made to Hangzhou Institute of Electronics Engineering (which is now Hangzhou Dianzi University) also for their Electronics Engineering program. As the Peking University required all their applicants to take an extra oral English test, and I got a good score at the test, teacher from HIEE offered me for Industrial Trade, which is basically an international trading major. I finally accepted this offer, otherwise I would not have the opportunity to go to college that year (we were only allowed to make two applications).
