Teaching Philosophy: Teaching is a process of mutual learning and inspiring. I believe passionately teaching what I care about will be inspiring; I remind myself to always stay humble and keep an open heart, believing that I will learn new things from new generations of students. I respect and leave enough leeway for students' original thoughts and autonomy. When I treat students as independent equals and inspire them, they always inspire and surprise me in return. In this way, teaching fosters our intellectual community, where teaching and research mutually enhance each other.
