I graduated from The Chinese University of Hong Kong, majoring in Chinese Language and Literature, and obtained his Bachelor (First Class Honors), Master, and Doctor degrees accordingly. Since 2013, I has been teaching in this department, serving successively as Lecturer and Senior Lecturer, teaching various courses in Chinese language, literature, and general education, including “University Chinese I & II,” “Practical Chinese Writing,” and “Appreciation of Classical Literary Masterpieces.” I also hold the position of principal investigator or co-investigator in several Chinese language teaching and research projects.

Some of the project outcomes have been  recognized at CUHK Teaching and Learning Innovation Expo.

I am passionate about teaching and strive to promote language education through a humanistic approach, emphasizing the handling of individual differences in language learning. I am dedicated to designing appropriate language learning experiences for students and regularly updating teaching materials and appproach to align with their future needs, thereby enhancing their learning motivation. I have been honored with the Vice Chancellor’s Exemplary Teaching Award(2018), Faculty of Arts Outstanding Teaching Award and the Teaching Excellence Award of he Department of Chinese Language and Literature.(2016, 2018, 2022, 2023).
