Scholars’ comments In Cambridge I have been most impressed by the opportunity to exchange ideas with international scholars from various disciplines, geographical backgrounds and cultures. Apart from academic research, I represented Cambridge in the annual table tennis varsity match. I spent time with my local host, I got to learn about different dimensions of life. I also brought what I know of Chinese culture and my Cambridge experience to them. One of my highlights was meeting His Royal Highness The Prince of Wales at the Trust’s annual reception, who was very friendly and shook our hands individually.
