SG : 你是做什么的？
我正在香港大学攻读机械工程和计算机科学学士学位，很想在机器人学这方面闯荡出一番事业给自己打响名头。
SG : 这是否是你梦想中的生活？
其实我现在所做的并不是我小时候的梦想（因为我7岁的时候梦想成为一只熊猫），但我很享受这种生命自我运行的轨迹，我正在努力实现自己的梦想，我觉得造机器人是件挺酷的事情。
SG : 你为了梦想做出的最大的牺牲是什么？
应该是时间吧，属于自己或和亲人相处的时间。在一定程度上也会影响健康，因为我需要经常熬夜学习工作，我也尽量合理的安排自己的时间。
SG : 你到目前为止人生的至高点是？
从个人成就的角度来看，应该是我第一次提交的会议论文。从个人眼界来看的话，应当是出席机器人与自动化（ICRA）的国际会议，以及今年早些时候的DARPA机器人挑战赛总决赛。
SG : 你会怎样帮助家乡变得更好?
我想是减少天津上空的污染。
SG : 你希望和谁合作呢？
有不少呢……斯坦福大学的Allison Okamura，内基梅隆大学的Matt Mason/Siddhartha Srinivasa，哈佛的Robert Howe，麻省理工学院的Daniela Rus等。
SG : 最喜爱的中国英雄？
花木兰，花木兰的故事…
SG : 你佩服的中国现代榜样。
最近的话，是屠呦呦。

SG : What do you do?
I’m finishing up my bachelor’s degree in Mechanical Engineering and Computer Science (HKU) and trying to burrow my way into making a name for myself in robotics.
SG : Are you living your dream?
I wouldn’t say I ever dreamed of doing what I’m doing now when I was young (I dreamed of being a panda when I was 7), but I’m enjoying how the stars have aligned to bring me here and I think I’d enjoy living the dream I’m working towards. Working with robots is pretty cool.
SG : What is the greatest sacrifice you have made to live your dream?
Mostly time, with both myself and my loved ones. Stemming from this to a certain degree is health because of the late nights and other stuff I do to try to have more time on my hands.
SG : What has been a high point so far?
Personal achievement-wise, I’d have to say submitting my first conference paper. General eye-opener wise, probably attending the International Conference on Robotics and Automation (ICRA) and also the DARPA Robotics Challenge Finals earlier this year.
SG : One change you would make to your hometown for the better.
I’d say a reduction in pollution in Tianjin would be heavenly.
SG : Who would you like to work with right now?
There’s quite a few people… Allison Okamura at Stanford, Matt Mason/Siddhartha Srinivasa at Carnegie Mellon, Robert Howe at Harvard, Daniela Rus at MIT, etc.
SG : Favorite Chinese hero?
Hua Mulan, or at least the story of Hua Mulan…
SG : A modern Chinese role model you admire.
Most recently, Tu Youyou.
