A little of my past:

A pediatrician sent me to school when I was four. Later, because of my curiosity, I took a series of challenging entrance exams. Fortunately, a special class in Northeast Yucai School accepted me as its members. Then, I left my parents and began my funny study life in Shenyang. Four years later, I, together with my 16 classmates, entered college. Before obtaining my bachelor degree at nineteen, I was admitted by the graduate school with waiver of tuition. I did research on NLP during my master study and my advisor was Prof. Yao Tianshun.
