Iʻm originally from Shandong China. I have been working at the University of Oklahoma for five years.

I teach Chinese courses at all levels. I coordinate the Chinese section.

One thing that you should know about me is that I have two sons: one is 9 and the other just turned 1. I enjoy cooking authentic Chinese food and spend time with my family. I just started learning traditional Chinese painting.

A key idea or experience that has significantly influenced my philosophy of teaching and learning is my graduate studies in sociocultural theory at Penn State. It gives me a completely new understanding about how language is learned in social interactions as social acts.
