Learning Progress

I am a lifelong learner. Beyond academic studies, I love dedicating time to explore new concepts across various fields. I am particularly fascinated by the “Sinosphere” (the culture and languages of East Asia).

Ancient Languages

Languages are windows to understanding history and culture.

• Classical Chinese (文言文): Intermediate
  I can read and write standard texts, though highly complex works like the Shi Jing (詩經) remain challenging.
• Classical Japanese (古文): Intermediate
  I can read and write Kakikudashibun (書き下し文) for Kanbun Kundoku (漢文訓読). Currently focusing on reading Waka (和歌) poetry and the Makura no Soshi (枕草子).
• Latin: Intermediate
  I regularly read and write texts of moderate difficulty.
• Ancient Greek: Beginner
  Currently learning the alphabet and basic syntax to better understand the roots of European culture.

Modern Languages

• Chinese (中文): Native / Fluent
  Cantonese (native) and Mandarin (fluent, near-native).
• Japanese (日本語): JLPT N1
  Capable of communicating fluently on a wide variety of topics.
• English: CET-6
  Comfortable communicating on general and academic topics.
• Vietnamese (Tiếng Việt): Post-Beginner
  Leveraging my knowledge of the ancient Chữ Nôm script to facilitate the learning process.
• Korean (한국어): Post-Beginner
  Transitioning smoothly from Japanese due to grammatical similarities.
• Portuguese (Português): Beginner
  Learning foundational grammar, bridging over from Latin. As someone from Macau, studying this language is deeply important for understanding my heritage.
• German (Deutsch): Beginner
  Just starting with the basics.

Mathematics

My ultimate devotion lies in number theory and analysis.

• Calculus and Integrals: I greatly enjoy solving complex equations and integrals online. Explaining and debating integration techniques brings me immense joy. You can find me discussing these topics over on my Threads account.
• Higher Mathematics (“Napkin” Project): Currently studying the renowned work An Infinitely Large Napkin by Evan Chen, aiming to familiarize myself with advanced mathematical theories such as abstract algebra and topology.

Computer Science

• Fuzzing and Security: Continuously writing scripts to uncover bugs in binary compilation using ASAN.
• Artificial Intelligence: Beyond Computer Vision, I am now focusing heavily on Semantic Segmentation and Large Language Models (LLMs) for deeper data comprehension.
