―What was the reason for choosing IMEG?
In China, I worked as a doctor in a hospital. I am a cancer specialist.
Recently, progress is being made in new cancer treatment research, especially in Japan and U.S.A. When working as a cancer specialist at a hospital in China, my supervising professor recommended Kumamoto University's IMEG.

―How do you spend weekdays?
I tend to spend most of the day in the laboratory especially when my schedule is tight. If I have the chance, I like to go out for lunch.
|
|
―How do you spend the time at the laboratory?
Mostly, I do experiments, talk to my professor about my research project, think about new experiment designs and also do some paperwork. |
|
―How do you spend your holidays?
Sightseeing or spending time with my friends. I have friends who are Japanese, Chinese and from other countries. |
|
―How do you relieve stress?
When I am tired from research, sleeping in on weekends is the best (laughs). To avoid stress I enjoy chatting with my friends or a quiet walk in parks. |
|
―Do you enjoy life in Kumamoto?
When I arrived, the new environment confused me a little. However, now I have gotten used to it and don't have any problems. As I can't speak Japanese well, I sometimes have troubles in communicating with people outside of the University. Because you can't spend 24 hours a day in the lab, I would recommend that you learn as much Japanese as possible before coming in order to make the most of your life away from the University. |
