I'm an undergraduate who’s
studying Applied Accounting and Business Finance at final year right now and
going to pursue graduate study of International Management next year at Teesside University.
Previously I've studied at Shanghai Linxin University of Commerce which is just outside Shanghai in China, for three years before I came to the UK.
However I am originally from the Yunnan Province located in South West China where I was born and grew up with my family.

During my spare time, I like
to go travelling and shopping. I've been to many places right across China.
I’m aiming to take some time to
travel around some European countries in the near future, such as France, Germany, Spain
and Italy.
I have loads of hobbies, including socialising, playing computer
games, dancing, singing and listening to music.

I was going to follow the
original track of my life like my schoolmates did, going to a high ranked UK university to pursue my graduate studies.
However, everything changed when I met skignz,
Si provided me a very precious opportunity to work for skignz, which totally
changed my future plan, potentially even my whole life.
Because of skignz, I finally have a
clear thought about my future, about what I want to do? and what I am going to
do!
It was really an eye-opener
when I knew about skignz at first time. I think skignz will be of great use
helping students to fit in at ALL universities quickly and make new friends easily.

Especially in China, a country with a very large population, a lot of University campuses spread all over the country and I'm sure skignz will have a significant role to play.

Chinese Universities are spread across massive areas, so using skignz to orientate and navigate around would be incredible and very easy for students to pick up.
Using skignz on a chinese campus also helps the students find each other. They are vast landscaped open spaces, so finding friends can be difficult.
Being able to find my friends is a great thing to have and all through my phone! I carry my phone everywhere and I rely on it for so many things - emails, social media, camera, other apps and now my new favourite - skignz lol
I feel honoured and privileged to be the one who introduces skignz to Chinese people by translating the main concept, videos and website of skignz to Chinese so that Chinese people can understand what skignz is and what skignz can do.
I have already set up two social channels for
skignz, which are the most popular social channels in China, namely RenRen and
Weibo.

They are the corresponding Facebook and Twitter in China, which play an important role among Chinese people.
We are also currently translating a lot of our video footage to make it accessible in Chinese. This we will be uploaded to our new chinese video channel (equivalent of YouTube).

The skignz website is in post production so it can be accessed by users in China in their own language.
I really appreciate that skignz
provided me this valuable opportunity and the skignz crew are helping me with my internship
patiently and kindly.
I have to say: Thanks, skignz!
