When he studied at IMES, he spent his second year to be an exchange student in both Europe and China. In the first semester, he studied at Stockholm School of Economics (SSE) in Sweden. He joined the basketball club at SSE because he was into basketball in his college life. He then went to Shanghai Jiao Tong university in the second semester.
