My hometown is at the north part of China, Shandong Province. I finished my Economics Bachelor degree at Wuhan University of Science and Technology and got my Management Bachelor Degree from Zhongnan University of Economics and Law, then graduated from ANU get my master degree, the IDEC program at Crawford School.

Before I set up Scullin Capital at November 2017, I worked at one of the listed companies at the Hong Kong Stock markets as an analyst for two years, and then engaged as an assistant of Executive Director and handled overseas investment. Scullin Capital is just beginning and for the not so good Macroeconomics scenario, we face lots of challenges.

The core business of Scullin Capital is hospital finance and we do hope find other business opportunities like education and supply chain management, as shown on Wanke General Meeting this year, living first, then worked harder and to be a strong one.
