I finished my BA in Digital Media at CAFA, China. The experience of studying abroad influenced me with diverse cultures and established thinking from an international perspective. I believe human-centered design is an essential element as a passionate service designer solves complex social issues through practice and positively impacts the world in the future.

why resilience education? — Gaokao is China’s life-changing, career-defending, nerve-wracking, all-important, national college entrance examination. It has been criticized for relying on rote learning and not considering character strengths. Therefore, most teenagers have low awareness about resilience but they still suffer from a lot of pressure.
Stakeholder relationship — Parent: high expectations must accompany the high support of parents, parents understand that children are under increased pressure with an unclear goal. But they don’t know a proper way to help children to withstand stress in this respect.
School: For public schools, it is challenging to pay enough attention to each student due to the large student base and high educational demand. School curricula lack the cultivation of students' soft ability and practical skills but focus more on learning.
HMW — So how might we Provide a roadmap for Chinese teenagers to enhance their resilience to support their self- growth?
What is Resilience? — Resilience is not a broad concept of nothingness, and it has specific and measurable dimensions and different meaning under a different context. Furthermore, it may be popular in western countries. However, it is still a relatively unknown field in China.
