Researcher at FHNW China Centre and studying MSc International ManagementChinese people typically do plan their future, but remain very flexible and willing to adapt. This has repeatedly served me well. Twelve years ago I was starting at the Qingdao University of Technology – and next I could do the final year of International Management to complete the 3+1 degree.
My parents and I thought a break might be good to reflect and rest before doing a Master study, subsequently I was accepted at the University of Lugano which I could continue without a gap year. However, it took 1½ years before I could finally return to China and see my family after my first time abroad. Meanwhile, I had become familiar with life here and grateful for the oppor-tunity to work at the School of Business to enrich my international experience. In addition, I am a DBA Candidate at the International University of Monaco. I rarely planned all this, but took the opportunities that came along with both hands.
