My life in Japan I was definitely a beginner at experiments when I first came to the lab. My professor and seniors in our lab taught me various techniques with great patience. Without their help, I wouldn’t be able to accommodate myself to a new study life in a foreign country that soon. Besides, I attend lots of interesting seminars which can broaden my horizon. I’m working hard on weekdays and playing hard in holidays. In my opinion, studying abroad is not only about doing experiments, but also about having real experience with the world beyond my border. In my spare time, I’d like to travel around Japan and experience different language, cultures and societies. I have been to many places such as Kyoto, Hiroshima, Gifu, Tokyo and so on. Every day I spend here is very rich and colorful, and all of these experiences have become precious treasure in my lifetime.

Why do I come to RIA I used to be a pediatrician in China and I wanted to help all of my lovely patients overcome the sickness. However, there are still a lot of incurable diseases take many lives away. The mission of a clinical doctor is to help patients, but what if I become a researcher, can I help more people and save more lives? Thinking about this, I decided to make my own contribution to the medical development. I chose to focus on infectious diseases which are the most common but dangerous illnesses for children. RIA is one of the most famous institutes concentrating on microbiology and immunology. It can offer me a great deal of chance to learn the cutting-edge knowledge and help me achieve my goal.
