She has always been strong in math and sciences and decided to study engineering in university. She wants to become a material science engineer. She also has a sister who is a year younger and is studying computer engineering in Sichuan province. Their parents used to be farmers but have gone to Zhejiang Province as migrant workers to make money to support their daughters’ education. She is looking forward to engaging more in research projects and conducting experiments, and eventually attending graduate school. Since Ying’s freshman year, she has taken leadership positions within Yanxing and is now Committee Lead for organizing school-wide events, responsible for logistics and finances. She also helped organize the spring outing and was a participant in the Speech trips last summer and loved it. She likes Chinese arts and crafts and listening to relaxing music which calms her down (which she probably needs because she's very bubbly). She also loves to travel and hopes to go beyond Chongqing and Nanjing once she has more financial flexibility. “Being a Qian Zheng Memorial Scholar, I am in contact with more people who are full of love, and I get more positive energy. This is most valuable for me. When I can’t keep on going, having a look at people who are better than me, they still work so hard, then I have no reason to give up.”
