Yes, certainly. So, I remember when I was 14, 15, I talked to the head of my school, Principal Du Huiping, and I said, “Madam, I don’t want to go to school anymore.” And she’s like, oh, did anyone hurt you, were you bullied? And things like that. And I’m like, nothing like that. It was just that you told me, Principal, to study hard, to get a good degree, to finally study abroad, joining a top AI lab maybe, working as postdoc to a professor and so on. But now there’s this new thing called the World Wide Web. And on the archive website, I just write an email to such professors, and they don’t know I was just 14, and they start sending me emails, and we start working together. And it’s like I found this fast track that I can do research full time without having to complete the diploma or credentials required for research.
