Hei! Minä olen Kiinan-tutkimuksen professori. Minä olen töissä Helsingin Yliopistossa tammikuusta 2016 lähtien. Ennen kuin muutin Suomeen, olin työskennellyt tutkijana monissa maissa, esimerkiksi Kazakstanissa, Australiassa ja Irlannissa. Minä opiskelen suomea nyt. Olen oppinut monia sanoja, mutta en osaa käyttää kieltä hyvin.  :)
