as a doctoral student, ryan is grateful for china's education. he said that the professors and his mentors at the school have given him great guidance, support and help. he learned the spiritual qualities of concentration, diligence and research from his mentors. he said, "without the help of professors, i would not have been able to go so far in the academic path."
life in china has also made the introvert ryan better at socializing. he has made many friends who love music in china, and continues to deepen and develop his love for music, exploring more possibilities for growth.
ryan said sincerely: "i grew up in china, i have lived here all my life, and this place means a lot to me."
