In my spare time, l am passionate about doing sports including playing table tennis, playing football, jogging, taking a walk and playing badminton. In addition, learning varieties of mathematical tools mainly including the cybernetics, real analysis, calculus of variation, optimal control theory, chaotic theory, operational research, network science, graph theory and reading the books on Contemporary Chinese History (中国近代史), Chinese Intellectual Thought History (中国知识分子思想史) as well as Bibliographies of Chinese Scientists (中国科学家传记）mainly including mathematicians and physicists are also my another two big life hobbies. My most respected Chinese Scholars are:  Wei-zang Chien (钱伟长, 中国近代力学之父）,YinKo Chen  (陈寅恪，中国著名历史学家及古典文学家）, Loo-keng Hua (华罗庚，中国近代数学奠基人) and Zhun Gu (顾准，中国近代会计学先驱及著名思想家）

​

​

My favorite 2 quotations from  Loo-keng Hua  and Wei-zang Chien  are: 

​

在寻求真理的长征中，唯有学习，不断地学习，勤奋地学习，有创造性地学习，才能越重山、跨峻岭。-华罗庚/In the pro-longed course of seeking the truth, only learning,  constantly learning, diligent in our study, creative learning, to the mountains cross the mountains-Loo-keng Hua. 

​

教，关键在于“授之以渔”；教书，关键在于教给学生一种学会思考问题的方法。-钱伟长/The key element of teaching is how to equip the students with the skills of catching the fish instead of directly giving them fish; That is, the ways in which they could adopt to think about the problems in the most appropriate way.

个人座右铭：

1.对于一个主攻区域发展、结构变迁发展经济学以及产业发展研究的科研人员来说，做学术研究的初衷应该不仅仅为了自己智力上的一种游戏体验或内心的一种好奇心的满足，而是能把自己的学术研究，学术共同体的推进及参与和广泛的产学研一体化合作服务于企业的发展，整个社会的福利增加与国家进一步的富强，而且这种基本的学术责任感与学术关怀是对任何一个国家做发展研究的科研人员来说，都应是不断追求的目标。

​

2. 任何社会科学理论上的原创性贡献都是对现实中或文献里最新的现象并从中引申出的重要的研究问题，做出最一般意义上的规律性总结和严谨性的方法工具上的分析。也因此，纵观各国社科研究的发展史， 大多数真正原创性的工作和经得起时间考验的学术研究一开始其实并不是发表在最主流或最顶级的期刊上，即使是那些发在最顶级期刊上的原创性社科理论研究，一开始也可能只有十分局限的学术影响力。因为最主流的期刊因为其引领现有研究范式的风向标的作用，必须是既有研究范式的综合性体现，这也是非常正常和能够理解的。从这个方面来说，要做范式转换（paradigm shift)的研究，必须要多发表，增加学术文章的读者群，但更重要的是需要思考什么是现实中最重要的现象或文献里最重要的问题，具体用什么研究工具或方法去解释这些重要议题或现象，其实是次要的。有了这个保障，无论是发表在顶级或最主流的期刊还是发在普通的期刊上，只要是一篇问出重要研究问题或抓住现实中重要现象的文章，就一定有它自身在文献中的地位与分量。
