Bridge

I am decorated Bridge player. Having started learning bridge since 2011, I participated in countless tournaments and achieved multiple awards. My biggest awards include China U21 Champion in 2017, Runner-up in Youngster group at Asian Bridge Congress, and twice the 3rd place in Junior United States Bridge Championship in 2022 and 2024. I also represented China U21 Team in World Youth Bridge Team Championship.

Bridge is a life-long passion for me that sharpens my fast-paced real-time analysis, decision making, and game strategies. It gives me invaluable treasure of Partnership, Teamwork, and Friendship. Beyond playing, I conduct algorithmic research on bridge strategies and contribute to bridge communities by mentoring in bridge clubs.
