宁湖 Henry Ning was born in Guilin, China and came to the US when he was 16. Now, he is a 3rd year UC Berkeley student, studying China-Brazil relations. With a reader base of almost 4000, Henry is best known in the student community as a prolific writer in Chinese. In 2008, he founded the liberal writers' group, Free Speech Movement Cafe, and in 2009 he founded the magazine, The Firestorm. Henry was also the first chairman of the intercollegiate student-run magazine, the Big Dipper. During school breaks, Henry never interned. Instead, he went on backpacking trips across America, Brazil, Mexico, and more. A quote from Henry: "Up until my graduation from high school, I had always been a teacher's pet, turning in neat homework on time and acing all the exams. Since then, I decided to live differently and think differently. I began to take more risk and have more adventures. My new philosophy is if you don't live your life on the edge, you are taking too much space. Moreover, to know even one life has breathed easier because of the space and resources I have given up and the challenges I have taken on - that's enough to keep me going." |

Haoda Li "I used to be a common kid from a rural town. Fortunately, with lots of people’s help, I gained the opportunity to have a better education in the city when I was ten. Since then, I am deeply shocked by the gap of education quality between my rural friends and me . People’s help just changed my life, so I hope to return the help I received by devoting myself to help other disadvantaged children." |
