What does international education mean for you?

What is one of the most satisfying outcomes you’ve helped a client to achieve?
As marketing officers, our daily job is to manage social media platforms, including WeChat and Weibo for our clients. In February, I did two Weibo campaigns during the Spring Festival for one of my clients. After the campaign, the number of our followers rise dramatically from about 6200 to around 11400 (almost doubled). This is a very exciting number.

What is your favourite movie?
I love many different kinds of movies, like thrillers and fantasy adventure films. My favorite one is The Lord of the Rings, which is a film series of three epic fantasy adventure films. One of my favorite lines in the movie is “that there’s some good in this world, and it’s worth fighting for”.

What is something you’ve learned from somebody inspirational?
“To dream the impossible dream
To fight the unbeatable foe
To bear with unbearable sorrow
And to run where the brave dare not go.
And to run where the brave dare not go.
To right the unrightable wrong
And to love pure and chaste from afar
To try when your arms are too weary
To reach the unreachable star”
“做不可能实现的梦
打败难以打败的敌人
忍受无法忍受的悲伤
跑去勇敢者不敢去的地方
纠正那无法纠正的错误
去爱来自远方的纯洁和高雅
虽然你的双臂疲惫不堪也要试一试
去触及遥不可及的璀璨繁星”
