AN OBSESSION...WITH SPORT AND MEDICINE From the moment I started playing basketball, I was obsessed with the sport. I spent days, months, and years learning the game of basketball and sweating on the basketball court. Sometimes, I would imagine myself as Jeremy Lin on the court at Madison Square Garden! After leaving high school, I came to Fudan University Shanghai Medical College (China), where I majored in clinical medicine and played for the college’s basketball team as the captain. Seeing a lot of sports injuries on the basketball court made me rethink the relationship between sports and medicine. I realized I wanted to learn more, and I chose sport and exercise medicine as my career. In 2019, I began my postgraduate studies in Sport and Exercise Medicine at Huashan Hospital (China) affiliated with Fudan University. I am now in the third year of my Ph.D., engaging in research into skeletal muscle injury and rotator cuff tear under the supervision of my mentors.
