Going through four years of hard study, I’m now standing at a new crossing in my life. If I came to UIC four years ago with anxiety and anticipation, then now that I am about to enter the workforce with confidence and unbeaten calm, which comes from every assignment, project, or essay completed, every book read, and every minute of communication with teachers and friends over four years.

The understanding and experience brought to me by the liberal arts education, which is 'Read broadly and absorb briefly; accumulate solidly and express concisely', has given me a breadth of vision and depth of thought. Besides, my independent and responsible attitude, as well as my proficient bilingual application, have helped me stand out in the workplace and secure multiple ideal job offers.

The immensity of the university lies in the accumulation and endless exploration of various possibilities. Even after leaving school, I firmly believe that the concept of liberal arts will affect my life forever and make me never stop.

Shuo Zhang is now the Deputy General Manager of the Investment Banking Department of Changjiang Securities, the sponsor representative, the Chinese CPA, and has passed the HKICPA. He was previously hired as senior auditor in Ernst & Young Shenzhen branch. During his time at school, Shuo Zhang worked as an intern at Morgan Stanley, a world-renowned company. When he graduated, he got offers from Ernst & Young, Deloitte and the Fortune 500 companies e.g. Exxon Mobil.

Shuo Zhang said that the UIC accounting major is in line with international standards and four years of English teaching have not only laid a good business foundation for himself, but also expanded his international vision and provided a solid foundation for future career development.

After graduating from postgraduate school, Lei Liu has worked in the Big Four and investment bank successively. In 2018, the Shenzhen Stock Exchange was open to the public for recruitment, and Lei Liu seized the opportunity. "HKICPA and CICPA are both time-consuming and laborious. I suggest students who have the ability and energy to prepare as early as possible at the undergraduate level and strive to pass the CPA within 1 to 2 years after graduation; and during or 1 to 2 years after postgraduation, obtain internship experience in investment banking or Big Four and pass the sponsor representative examination."

Lei Liu mentioned, “Master various skills to enrich yourself. As a newcomer to the workplace, it is necessary to master basic skills such as Excel and Word. If you can master some data extraction, mining, and analytical skills will be more helpful."

Four years passed in the blink of an eye. I met many excellent teachers in UIC, who not only brought me rich professional knowledge, but also brought me the courage and strength to keep moving forward.  Before graduation, I sent an email to one of my teachers for future advise, and received his reply: “Remember it’s independent, logical, compassionate and creative thinking to unlock your potential and there will be challenges while you are pursuing your dreams, however, you should always live optimistically, bravely and gratefully for what you have”. In the new journey of work, this message gives me the direction when I’m confused, and also inspires me to keep moving forward.  Thank UIC teachers for everything they have taught me.

I think choosing UIC after the college entrance examination is a very wise decision for me. Life at UIC is very fulfilling and colorful. I have not only learned solid theoretical knowledge, but more importantly, UIC has provided me with an open platform, allowing me to participate in various activities and meet many friends. For example, the student union campaign, the national competition initiated by UIC, and the most significant is the national fundraising event held for poor children in Guizhou mountainous areas with the members of Sicheng Dream.

My major is accounting. Everyone thinks that accounting students are very hard. In fact, I think I am very proud of being a UIC accounting student. We have many good teachers. No matter it is a professional problem or other life puzzles, teachers are willing to help and share. In addition to the study of rigorous accounting professional knowledge, we also have many opportunities for us to apply our accounting knowledge to competitions or internships. For example, I participated in the case analysis competition of the Hong Kong Institute of Certified Public Accountants and the internship at PricewaterhouseCoopers. I have always felt that our UIC accounting students are very competitive.

Thanks to a good undergraduate education at UIC, I am fully able to adapt to the highly competitive environment of Hong Kong. During my master's degree, Mainland classmates came from prestigious universities such as Tsinghua University, Zhejiang University and Nanjing University. My good grades in courses are not inferior to those of my classmates. The employment situation in Hong Kong was not optimistic during the graduation year of my master's degree. With my outstanding performance in the written examination, manager interview, and partner interview, I soon received two offers from PwC and Deloitte in Hong Kong. I was the first to get the favourite job in Hong Kong among my classmates, and I had full confidence in my career development in Hong Kong.

Looking back on my school experience, I have benefited a lot from UIC's four years. Firstly, UIC's professional curriculum and teaching content are in line with international standards. The teachers are mainly from Hong Kong, Taiwan and foreign prestigious schools. The high-level teaching has enabled me to learn solid professional knowledge. Secondly, UIC has implemented four-year English teaching. With comprehensive training in all aspects of English listening, speaking, reading and writing, it is easy to adapt to the English learning environment and working environment. Thirdly, UIC has extensive business cooperation with universities, multinational companies, and social organizations in Hong Kong, Taiwan and abroad. The international education environment provides good conditions for students' international exchanges, internships, and professional development, which is very conducive to the growth of students.

When studying at UIC, Jiale Cheng set the goal of entering the "Big Four". At the beginning, with the purpose of expanding his horizons and social circle, Jiale Cheng chose UIC and came alone from Hong Kong to study. That was the first time Jiale Cheng had left home to live in a residential life. For him, it was not a small challenge.

At UIC, Jiale Cheng won school scholarship for three consecutive years and received a first-class honours degree when he graduated. In his spare time, he served as a student tutor in the accounting tutoring class for junior students, which cultivated his interest in accounting and laid a solid foundation for his career development. After graduating from UIC, Jiale Cheng entered the Graduate School of Business Information System at City University of Hong Kong and passed the professional qualification examination of the Hong Kong Institute of Certified Public Accountants with excellent results. After graduating with a master's degree, he successfully joined the audit department of PwC (Hong Kong).

Jiale Cheng said: "There are no shortcuts to entering the ‘Big Four'. Lay a good knowledge foundation, take accounting related exams, find internships, expand your horizons and knowledge.Gradually accumulate your own advantages step by step, and you will eventually get the desired result."

In a blink of an eye, I have stepped into the society, and it was UIC's novel and unique education model that made me who I am today. The English teaching model allows me to understand the professional knowledge of accounting and to be able to use English fluently. The group projects and classroom presentations made me accustomed to teamwork and able to express my opinions confidently. In my graduation year, I chose to apply for postgraduate school and a job at the same time. The process was very difficult but came out with good result. In the end, I chose to work for Deloitte.

As an undergraduate, it was in my expectation to stand out among many postgraduate students. English is basically required for interviews in international companies. If there is no practice environment in normal times, and take the interview with tension, the result can be imagined. Fluent English expression was the cornerstone of my success. In addition, the interview also involved group discussions and individual speeches, which were testing the ability to cooperate and express. People who are too sharp or do not express well are often eliminated. In the four years of UIC, the accumulation of these abilities has helped me stand out from many competitors and become the person the company needs. After four years of sharpening a sword, there is still a long road to life, and graduation is just the starting point.

She participated in the summer courses at Cambridge University in the United Kingdom during the summer vacation of her junior year. She used to be a member of UIC Financial Association and Saifu team and created an English magazine called ACT based on her hobby of English writing, which provides a platform for communication among students majoring in accounting. She likes to be in contact with different cultures, and she likes to communicate with people from different countries and cultures. UIC's accounting major provides students with many internship opportunities, and directly recommends outstanding students to the Big Four accounting firms at campus job fairs, and also announces many related social positions and provides a good employment platform.

As UIC accounting students, we may have a broader vision than students from other universities in the Mainland, and we will have a stronger ability to actively collect information. The biggest gain of the four years of university is to become more independent in thought and life, and to have a clear direction and plan for the future. I feel that I have also greatly improved my communication, interpersonal skills and leadership skills, which have made me stand out in the interview with Deloitte Hong Kong.

During my four years at Beijing Normal University, I have been equipped with meticulous business logic thinking by the friendly teachers. The celebrity lectures provided by the school have given me the opportunity to think fully and have a dialogue with industry leaders, which gives me broad view. The open classroom environment also allows me to fully discuss current industry hotspots and academic paradoxes with my teachers, allowing me to transform from a well-behaved high school student into a mature college student with independent thinking and expression skills. It was these characteristics that UIC gave me that I was confident in my junior year, and played steadily in the competition with other prestigious masters and won two big four accounting firm offers.

In the future, I believe that the characteristics given to me by UIC will enable me to face the uncertain challenges of the complex business world confidently and calmly and to walk more steadily and steadily on the road of my life.

On the desk of EY, I type tens of thousands of words of the report, discussing the economic situation and taxation of various countries with colleagues. Such an independent and orderly life, I think, is inseparable from the training and education at UIC.

In the big family of accounting majors, I not only make friends and gain knowledge, but also participate in a wealth of after-school and winter and summer vacation activities, improve communication and organizational skills, and broaden international horizons. Four years of fulfilling life is more stressful and more rewarding than students from other universities. The professional academic atmosphere, fierce competition environment, diverse cultural experience, and friendly classmates and teachers have allowed me to learn the joy of life and feel the difference in my heart. Thanks to UIC for allowing me to find myself and become myself; to inspire my progress and witness my growth. I am fortunate to have my beloved mentor and beloved professional company in these four years. I sincerely wish UIC and ACCT professional to continue to grow and become more brilliant.

The four years of study and exercise at UIC and the careful guidance of the teachers have had a great impact on my career choice. Among them, the experience of participating in QP competitions in my junior year has greatly improved my ability to solve problems and work with the team. The internship and full-time offer from KPMG are inseparable from the efforts at that time.

I am very grateful to every teacher I have met in the past four years. They have shown me a colourful corner of the world in their fields of expertise, and they have also promoted my progress and exploration on the path of growth: knowing what you love or what you are dissatisfied with, knowing the reason behind your emotions and reflect on yourself, imagining different scenes in your mind over and over again to consolidate your cognition. It should be like this: trying to emulating when seeing the good and self-examination when seeing the bad.

But the life at UIC is also rich and full of beauty and gratitude. In the past four years, I have been involved in the two traditional cultural societies of cross talk and Yale. Although my academic work and anxiety have increased, my love for them has increased day by day. Cross talk is the art of language and Yayue and its dance are the scheduling of the body. When programming a program and doing better over and over again, oneself will appreciate the unspeakable beauty of each process. The sense of ritual of grasping the details with companions together, laughing together, and putting on the costumes are all refreshing experiences in college life. I practice both internally and externally, learn to be confident in my strengths, and be humble in my weaknesses. This is how I practice the concept of "whole person" education.

UIC's accounting major has given me an international perspective and provided me with the opportunity to get the QP. Now I have the opportunity to participate in on-site audit work in the United States, the United Kingdom, Japan, and Hong Kong. At the same time, the form of teamwork in class teaches me the ability to manage and unite the team.

Four years of campus experience and life, from being an ignorant student to becoming a member of PricewaterhouseCoopers, my change is completely inseparable from UIC's cultivation of me.

First of all, UIC not only provides us with the basic knowledge necessary to enter a career, but also provides us with guidelines for obtaining a CPA certificate, laying the foundation for our future career. Secondly, UIC has a teaching system that ordinary universities do not have. This system requires us to complete a large number of learning tasks in a short time. Four years later, we unknowingly improved our ability to withstand the stress, which allowed us to adapt in advance to the work pressure brought by future work. Finally, the group project designed by UIC has exercised our ability to do things well. The works in the future careers are basically carried out in groups. Being able to get along with colleagues will play an important role in our future career development.

All in all, UIC is a university dedicated to teaching and thinking about the future of its students. As long as we work hard to be responsible for ourselves and others in this university, four years later, when you think of yourself before enrolling, you will be amazed at how much you have learned and understood! By the way, what I have learned about four-years-life in UIC -as long as you have a breath, you must persevere.

That was the first time Jiale Cheng had left home to live in a residential life. For him, it was not a small challenge.

At UIC, Jiale Cheng won school scholarship for three consecutive years and received a first-class honours degree when he graduated. In his spare time, he served as a student tutor in the accounting tutoring class for junior students, which cultivated his interest in accounting and laid a solid foundation for his career development. After graduating from UIC, Jiale Cheng entered the Graduate School of Business Information System at City University of Hong Kong and passed the professional qualification examination of the Hong Kong Institute of Certified Public Accountants with excellent results. After graduating with a master's degree, he successfully joined the audit department of PwC (Hong Kong).

Jiale Cheng said: "There are no shortcuts to entering the ‘Big Four'. Lay a good knowledge foundation, take accounting related exams, find internships, expand your horizons and knowledge.Gradually accumulate your own advantages step by step, and you will eventually get the desired result."

In a blink of an eye, I have stepped into the society, and it was UIC's novel and unique education model that made me who I am today. The English teaching model allows me to understand the professional knowledge of accounting and to be able to use English fluently. The group projects and classroom presentations made me accustomed to teamwork and able to express my opinions confidently. In my graduation year, I chose to apply for postgraduate school and a job at the same time. The process was very difficult but came out with good result. In the end, I chose to work for Deloitte.

As an undergraduate, it was in my expectation to stand out among many postgraduate students. English is basically required for interviews in international companies. If there is no practice environment in normal times, and take the interview with tension, the result can be imagined. Fluent English expression was the cornerstone of my success. In addition, the interview also involved group discussions and individual speeches, which were testing the ability to cooperate and express. People who are too sharp or do not express well are often eliminated. In the four years of UIC, the accumulation of these abilities has helped me stand out from many competitors and become the person the company needs. After four years of sharpening a sword, there is still a long road to life, and graduation is just the starting point.

She participated in the summer courses at Cambridge University in the United Kingdom during the summer vacation of her junior year. She used to be a member of UIC Financial Association and Saifu team and created an English magazine called ACT based on her hobby of English writing, which provides a platform for communication among students majoring in accounting. She likes to be in contact with different cultures, and she likes to communicate with people from different countries and cultures. UIC's accounting major provides students with many internship opportunities, and directly recommends outstanding students to the Big Four accounting firms at campus job fairs, and also announces many related social positions and provides a good employment platform.

As UIC accounting students, we may have a broader vision than students from other universities in the Mainland, and we will have a stronger ability to actively collect information. The biggest gain of the four years of university is to become more independent in thought and life, and to have a clear direction and plan for the future. I feel that I have also greatly improved my communication, interpersonal skills and leadership skills, which have made me stand out in the interview with Deloitte Hong Kong.

During my four years at Beijing Normal University, I have been equipped with meticulous business logic thinking by the friendly teachers. The celebrity lectures provided by the school have given me the opportunity to think fully and have a dialogue with industry leaders, which gives me broad view. The open classroom environment also allows me to fully discuss current industry hotspots and academic paradoxes with my teachers, allowing me to transform from a well-behaved high school student into a mature college student with independent thinking and expression skills. It was these characteristics that UIC gave me that I was confident in my junior year, and played steadily in the competition with other prestigious masters and won two big four accounting firm offers.

In the future, I believe that the characteristics given to me by UIC will enable me to face the uncertain challenges of the complex business world confidently and calmly and to walk more steadily and steadily on the road of my life.

On the desk of EY, I type tens of thousands of words of the report, discussing the economic situation and taxation of various countries with colleagues. Such an independent and orderly life, I think, is inseparable from the training and education at UIC.

In the big family of accounting majors, I not only make friends and gain knowledge, but also participate in a wealth of after-school and winter and summer vacation activities, improve communication and organizational skills, and broaden international horizons. Four years of fulfilling life is more stressful and more rewarding than students from other universities. The professional academic atmosphere, fierce competition environment, diverse cultural experience, and friendly classmates and teachers have allowed me to learn the joy of life and feel the difference in my heart. Thanks to UIC for allowing me to find myself and become myself; to inspire my progress and witness my growth. I am fortunate to have my beloved mentor and beloved professional company in these four years. I sincerely wish UIC and ACCT professional to continue to grow and become more brilliant.

The four years of study and exercise at UIC and the careful guidance of the teachers have had a great impact on my career choice. Among them, the experience of participating in QP competitions in my junior year has greatly improved my ability to solve problems and work with the team. The internship and full-time offer from KPMG are inseparable from the efforts at that time.

I am very grateful to every teacher I have met in the past four years. They have shown me a colourful corner of the world in their fields of expertise, and they have also promoted my progress and exploration on the path of growth: knowing what you love or what you are dissatisfied with, knowing the reason behind your emotions and reflect on yourself, imagining different scenes in your mind over and over again to consolidate your cognition. It should be like this: trying to emulating when seeing the good and self-examination when seeing the bad.

But the life at UIC is also rich and full of beauty and gratitude. In the past four years, I have been involved in the two traditional cultural societies of cross talk and Yale. Although my academic work and anxiety have increased, my love for them has increased day by day. Cross talk is the art of language and Yayue and its dance are the scheduling of the body. When programming a program and doing better over and over again, oneself will appreciate the unspeakable beauty of each process. The sense of ritual of grasping the details with companions together, laughing together, and putting on the costumes are all refreshing experiences in college life. I practice both internally and externally, learn to be confident in my strengths, and be humble in my weaknesses. This is how I practice the concept of "whole person" education.

UIC's accounting major has given me an international perspective and provided me with the opportunity to get the QP. Now I have the opportunity to participate in on-site audit work in the United States, the United Kingdom, Japan, and Hong Kong. At the same time, the form of teamwork in class teaches me the ability to manage and unite the team.

Four years of campus experience and life, from being an ignorant student to becoming a member of PricewaterhouseCoopers, my change is completely inseparable from UIC's cultivation of me.

First of all, UIC not only provides us with the basic knowledge necessary to enter a career, but also provides us with guidelines for obtaining a CPA certificate, laying the foundation for our future career. Secondly, UIC has a teaching system that ordinary universities do not have. This system requires us to complete a large number of learning tasks in a short time. Four years later, we unknowingly improved our ability to withstand the stress, which allowed us to adapt in advance to the work pressure brought by future work. Finally, the group project designed by UIC has exercised our ability to do things well. The works in the future careers are basically carried out in groups. Being able to get along with colleagues will play an important role in our future career development.

All in all, UIC is a university dedicated to teaching and thinking about the future of its students. As long as we work hard to be responsible for ourselves and others in this university, four years later, when you think of yourself before enrolling, you will be amazed at how much you have learned and understood! By the way, what I have learned about four-years-life in UIC -as long as you have a breath, you must persevere.

Fan Jia led the team to establish BEEPLUS in 2015. The start-up team members are also alumni from different majors of UIC. Recently, BEEPLUS was selected as the “Quasi-Unicorn of China's New Economy in 2020” by iiMedia. Fan Jia was selected as one of the Top 10 Entrepreneurship Leaders in Zhuhai and Macao in 2016, and the Good Youth of Zhuhai in 2019. He was also selected into the Forbes Under 30 Elite List, Hurun Under30s Entrepreneurship Leader List, and Yale University "Innovative Visiting Scholar", becoming the model of youth entrepreneurship in Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area.

Going through four years of hard study, I’m now standing at a new crossing in my life. If I came to UIC four years ago with anxiety and anticipation, then now that I am about to enter the workforce with confidence and unbeaten calm, which comes from every assignment, project, or essay completed, every book read, and every minute of communication with teachers and friends over four years.

The understanding and experience brought to me by the liberal arts education, which is 'Read broadly and absorb briefly; accumulate solidly and express concisely', has given me a breadth of vision and depth of thought. Besides, my independent and responsible attitude, as well as my proficient bilingual application, have helped me stand out in the workplace and secure multiple ideal job offers.

The immensity of the university lies in the accumulation and endless exploration of various possibilities. Even after leaving school, I firmly believe that the concept of liberal arts will affect my life forever and make me never stop.

Shuo Zhang is now the Deputy General Manager of the Investment Banking Department of Changjiang Securities, the sponsor representative, the Chinese CPA, and has passed the HKICPA. He was previously hired as senior auditor in Ernst & Young Shenzhen branch. During his time at school, Shuo Zhang worked as an intern at Morgan Stanley, a world-renowned company. When he graduated, he got offers from Ernst & Young, Deloitte and the Fortune 500 companies e.g. Exxon Mobil.

Shuo Zhang said that the UIC accounting major is in line with international standards and four years of English teaching have not only laid a good business foundation for himself, but also expanded his international vision and provided a solid foundation for future career development.

After graduating from postgraduate school, Lei Liu has worked in the Big Four and investment bank successively. In 2018, the Shenzhen Stock Exchange was open to the public for recruitment, and Lei Liu seized the opportunity. "HKICPA and CICPA are both time-consuming and laborious. I suggest students who have the ability and energy to prepare as early as possible at the undergraduate level and strive to pass the CPA within 1 to 2 years after graduation; and during or 1 to 2 years after postgraduation, obtain internship experience in investment banking or Big Four and pass the sponsor representative examination."

Lei Liu mentioned, “Master various skills to enrich yourself. As a newcomer to the workplace, it is necessary to master basic skills such as Excel and Word. If you can master some data extraction, mining, and analytical skills will be more helpful."

Four years passed in the blink of an eye. I met many excellent teachers in UIC, who not only brought me rich professional knowledge, but also brought me the courage and strength to keep moving forward.  Before graduation, I sent an email to one of my teachers for future advise, and received his reply: “Remember it’s independent, logical, compassionate and creative thinking to unlock your potential and there will be challenges while you are pursuing your dreams, however, you should always live optimistically, bravely and gratefully for what you have”. In the new journey of work, this message gives me the direction when I’m confused, and also inspires me to keep moving forward.  Thank UIC teachers for everything they have taught me.

I think choosing UIC after the college entrance examination is a very wise decision for me. Life at UIC is very fulfilling and colorful. I have not only learned solid theoretical knowledge, but more importantly, UIC has provided me with an open platform, allowing me to participate in various activities and meet many friends. For example, the student union campaign, the national competition initiated by UIC, and the most significant is the national fundraising event held for poor children in Guizhou mountainous areas with the members of Sicheng Dream.

My major is accounting. Everyone thinks that accounting students are very hard. In fact, I think I am very proud of being a UIC accounting student. We have many good teachers. No matter it is a professional problem or other life puzzles, teachers are willing to help and share. In addition to the study of rigorous accounting professional knowledge, we also have many opportunities for us to apply our accounting knowledge to competitions or internships. For example, I participated in the case analysis competition of the Hong Kong Institute of Certified Public Accountants and the internship at PricewaterhouseCoopers. I have always felt that our UIC accounting students are very competitive.

Thanks to a good undergraduate education at UIC, I am fully able to adapt to the highly competitive environment of Hong Kong. During my master's degree, Mainland classmates came from prestigious universities such as Tsinghua University, Zhejiang University and Nanjing University. My good grades in courses are not inferior to those of my classmates. The employment situation in Hong Kong was not optimistic during the graduation year of my master's degree. With my outstanding performance in the written examination, manager interview, and partner interview, I soon received two offers from PwC and Deloitte in Hong Kong. I was the first to get the favourite job in Hong Kong among my classmates, and I had full confidence in my career development in Hong Kong.

Looking back on my school experience, I have benefited a lot from UIC's four years. Firstly, UIC's professional curriculum and teaching content are in line with international standards. The teachers are mainly from Hong Kong, Taiwan and foreign prestigious schools. The high-level teaching has enabled me to learn solid professional knowledge. Secondly, UIC has implemented four-year English teaching. With comprehensive training in all aspects of English listening, speaking, reading and writing, it is easy to adapt to the English learning environment and working environment. Thirdly, UIC has extensive business cooperation with universities, multinational companies, and social organizations in Hong Kong, Taiwan and abroad. The international education environment provides good conditions for students' international exchanges, internships, and professional development, which is very conducive to the growth of students.

The sense of ritual of grasping the details with companions together, laughing together, and putting on the costumes are all refreshing experiences in college life. I practice both internally and externally, learn to be confident in my strengths, and be humble in my weaknesses. This is how I practice the concept of "whole person" education.

UIC's accounting major has given me an international perspective and provided me with the opportunity to get the QP. Now I have the opportunity to participate in on-site audit work in the United States, the United Kingdom, Japan, and Hong Kong. At the same time, the form of teamwork in class teaches me the ability to manage and unite the team.

Four years of campus experience and life, from being an ignorant student to becoming a member of PricewaterhouseCoopers, my change is completely inseparable from UIC's cultivation of me.

First of all, UIC not only provides us with the basic knowledge necessary to enter a career, but also provides us with guidelines for obtaining a CPA certificate, laying the foundation for our future career. Secondly, UIC has a teaching system that ordinary universities do not have. This system requires us to complete a large number of learning tasks in a short time. Four years later, we unknowingly improved our ability to withstand the stress, which allowed us to adapt in advance to the work pressure brought by future work. Finally, the group project designed by UIC has exercised our ability to do things well. The works in the future careers are basically carried out in groups. Being able to get along with colleagues will play an important role in our future career development.

All in all, UIC is a university dedicated to teaching and thinking about the future of its students. As long as we work hard to be responsible for ourselves and others in this university, four years later, when you think of yourself before enrolling, you will be amazed at how much you have learned and understood! By the way, what I have learned about four-years-life in UIC -as long as you have a breath, you must persevere.

Fan Jia led the team to establish BEEPLUS in 2015. The start-up team members are also alumni from different majors of UIC. Recently, BEEPLUS was selected as the “Quasi-Unicorn of China's New Economy in 2020” by iiMedia. Fan Jia was selected as one of the Top 10 Entrepreneurship Leaders in Zhuhai and Macao in 2016, and the Good Youth of Zhuhai in 2019. He was also selected into the Forbes Under 30 Elite List, Hurun Under30s Entrepreneurship Leader List, and Yale University "Innovative Visiting Scholar", becoming the model of youth entrepreneurship in Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area.

Going through four years of hard study, I’m now standing at a new crossing in my life. If I came to UIC four years ago with anxiety and anticipation, then now that I am about to enter the workforce with confidence and unbeaten calm, which comes from every assignment, project, or essay completed, every book read, and every minute of communication with teachers and friends over four years.

The understanding and experience brought to me by the liberal arts education, which is 'Read broadly and absorb briefly; accumulate solidly and express concisely', has given me a breadth of vision and depth of thought. Besides, my independent and responsible attitude, as well as my proficient bilingual application, have helped me stand out in the workplace and secure multiple ideal job offers.

The immensity of the university lies in the accumulation and endless exploration of various possibilities. Even after leaving school, I firmly believe that the concept of liberal arts will affect my life forever and make me never stop.

Shuo Zhang is now the Deputy General Manager of the Investment Banking Department of Changjiang Securities, the sponsor representative, the Chinese CPA, and has passed the HKICPA. He was previously hired as senior auditor in Ernst & Young Shenzhen branch. During his time at school, Shuo Zhang worked as an intern at Morgan Stanley, a world-renowned company. When he graduated, he got offers from Ernst & Young, Deloitte and the Fortune 500 companies e.g. Exxon Mobil.

Shuo Zhang said that the UIC accounting major is in line with international standards and four years of English teaching have not only laid a good business foundation for himself, but also expanded his international vision and provided a solid foundation for future career development.

After graduating from postgraduate school, Lei Liu has worked in the Big Four and investment bank successively. In 2018, the Shenzhen Stock Exchange was open to the public for recruitment, and Lei Liu seized the opportunity. "HKICPA and CICPA are both time-consuming and laborious. I suggest students who have the ability and energy to prepare as early as possible at the undergraduate level and strive to pass the CPA within 1 to 2 years after graduation; and during or 1 to 2 years after postgraduation, obtain internship experience in investment banking or Big Four and pass the sponsor representative examination."

Lei Liu mentioned, “Master various skills to enrich yourself. As a newcomer to the workplace, it is necessary to master basic skills such as Excel and Word. If you can master some data extraction, mining, and analytical skills will be more helpful."

Four years passed in the blink of an eye. I met many excellent teachers in UIC, who not only brought me rich professional knowledge, but also brought me the courage and strength to keep moving forward.  Before graduation, I sent an email to one of my teachers for future advise, and received his reply: “Remember it’s independent, logical, compassionate and creative thinking to unlock your potential and there will be challenges while you are pursuing your dreams, however, you should always live optimistically, bravely and gratefully for what you have”. In the new journey of work, this message gives me the direction when I’m confused, and also inspires me to keep moving forward.  Thank UIC teachers for everything they have taught me.

I think choosing UIC after the college entrance examination is a very wise decision for me. Life at UIC is very fulfilling and colorful. I have not only learned solid theoretical knowledge, but more importantly, UIC has provided me with an open platform, allowing me to participate in various activities and meet many friends. For example, the student union campaign, the national competition initiated by UIC, and the most significant is the national fundraising event held for poor children in Guizhou mountainous areas with the members of Sicheng Dream.

My major is accounting. Everyone thinks that accounting students are very hard. In fact, I think I am very proud of being a UIC accounting student. We have many good teachers. No matter it is a professional problem or other life puzzles, teachers are willing to help and share. In addition to the study of rigorous accounting professional knowledge, we also have many opportunities for us to apply our accounting knowledge to competitions or internships. For example, I participated in the case analysis competition of the Hong Kong Institute of Certified Public Accountants and the internship at PricewaterhouseCoopers. I have always felt that our UIC accounting students are very competitive.

Thanks to a good undergraduate education at UIC, I am fully able to adapt to the highly competitive environment of Hong Kong. During my master's degree, Mainland classmates came from prestigious universities such as Tsinghua University, Zhejiang University and Nanjing University. My good grades in courses are not inferior to those of my classmates. The employment situation in Hong Kong was not optimistic during the graduation year of my master's degree. With my outstanding performance in the written examination, manager interview, and partner interview, I soon received two offers from PwC and Deloitte in Hong Kong. I was the first to get the favourite job in Hong Kong among my classmates, and I had full confidence in my career development in Hong Kong.

Looking back on my school experience, I have benefited a lot from UIC's four years. Firstly, UIC's professional curriculum and teaching content are in line with international standards. The teachers are mainly from Hong Kong, Taiwan and foreign prestigious schools. The high-level teaching has enabled me to learn solid professional knowledge. Secondly, UIC has implemented four-year English teaching. With comprehensive training in all aspects of English listening, speaking, reading and writing, it is easy to adapt to the English learning environment and working environment. Thirdly, UIC has extensive business cooperation with universities, multinational companies, and social organizations in Hong Kong, Taiwan and abroad. The international education environment provides good conditions for students' international exchanges, internships, and professional development, which is very conducive to the growth of students.

When studying at UIC, Jiale Cheng set the goal of entering the "Big Four". At the beginning, with the purpose of expanding his horizons and social circle, Jiale Cheng chose UIC and came alone from Hong Kong to study. That was the first time Jiale Cheng had left home to live in a residential life. For him, it was not a small challenge.

At UIC, Jiale Cheng won school scholarship for three consecutive years and received a first-class honours degree when he graduated. In his spare time, he served as a student tutor in the accounting tutoring class for junior students, which cultivated his interest in accounting and laid a solid foundation for his career development. After graduating from UIC, Jiale Cheng entered the Graduate School of Business Information System at City University of Hong Kong and passed the professional qualification examination of the Hong Kong Institute of Certified Public Accountants with excellent results. After graduating with a master's degree, he successfully joined the audit department of PwC (Hong Kong).

Jiale Cheng said: "There are no shortcuts to entering the ‘Big Four'. Lay a good knowledge foundation, take accounting related exams, find internships, expand your horizons and knowledge.Gradually accumulate your own advantages step by step, and you will eventually get the desired result."

In a blink of an eye, I have stepped into the society, and it was UIC's novel and unique education model that made me who I am today. The English teaching model allows me to understand the professional knowledge of accounting and to be able to use English fluently. The group projects and classroom presentations made me accustomed to teamwork and able to express my opinions confidently. In my graduation year, I chose to apply for postgraduate school and a job at the same time. The process was very difficult but came out with good result. In the end, I chose to work for Deloitte.

As an undergraduate, it was in my expectation to stand out among many postgraduate students. English is basically required for interviews in international companies. If there is no practice environment in normal times, and take the interview with tension, the result can be imagined. Fluent English expression was the cornerstone of my success. In addition, the interview also involved group discussions and individual speeches, which were testing the ability to cooperate and express. People who are too sharp or do not express well are often eliminated. In the four years of UIC, the accumulation of these abilities has helped me stand out from many competitors and become the person the company needs. After four years of sharpening a sword, there is still a long road to life, and graduation is just the starting point.

She participated in the summer courses at Cambridge University in the United Kingdom during the summer vacation of her junior year. She used to be a member of UIC Financial Association and Saifu team and created an English magazine called ACT based on her hobby of English writing, which provides a platform for communication among students majoring in accounting. She likes to be in contact with different cultures, and she likes to communicate with people from different countries and cultures. UIC's accounting major provides students with many internship opportunities, and directly recommends outstanding students to the Big Four accounting firms at campus job fairs, and also announces many related social positions and provides a good employment platform.

As UIC accounting students, we may have a broader vision than students from other universities in the Mainland, and we will have a stronger ability to actively collect information. The biggest gain of the four years of university is to become more independent in thought and life, and to have a clear direction and plan for the future. I feel that I have also greatly improved my communication, interpersonal skills and leadership skills, which have made me stand out in the interview with Deloitte Hong Kong.

During my four years at Beijing Normal University, I have been equipped with meticulous business logic thinking by the friendly teachers. The celebrity lectures provided by the school have given me the opportunity to think fully and have a dialogue with industry leaders, which gives me broad view. The open classroom environment also allows me to fully discuss current industry hotspots and academic paradoxes with my teachers, allowing me to transform from a well-behaved high school student into a mature college student with independent thinking and expression skills. It was these characteristics that UIC gave me that I was confident in my junior year, and played steadily in the competition with other prestigious masters and won two big four accounting firm offers.

In the future, I believe that the characteristics given to me by UIC will enable me to face the uncertain challenges of the complex business world confidently and calmly and to walk more steadily and steadily on the road of my life.

On the desk of EY, I type tens of thousands of words of the report, discussing the economic situation and taxation of various countries with colleagues. Such an independent and orderly life, I think, is inseparable from the training and education at UIC.

In the big family of accounting majors, I not only make friends and gain knowledge, but also participate in a wealth of after-school and winter and summer vacation activities, improve communication and organizational skills, and broaden international horizons. Four years of fulfilling life is more stressful and more rewarding than students from other universities. The professional academic atmosphere, fierce competition environment, diverse cultural experience, and friendly classmates and teachers have allowed me to learn the joy of life and feel the difference in my heart. Thanks to UIC for allowing me to find myself and become myself; to inspire my progress and witness my growth. I am fortunate to have my beloved mentor and beloved professional company in these four years. I sincerely wish UIC and ACCT professional to continue to grow and become more brilliant.

The four years of study and exercise at UIC and the careful guidance of the teachers have had a great impact on my career choice. Among them, the experience of participating in QP competitions in my junior year has greatly improved my ability to solve problems and work with the team. The internship and full-time offer from KPMG are inseparable from the efforts at that time.

I am very grateful to every teacher I have met in the past four years. They have shown me a colourful corner of the world in their fields of expertise, and they have also promoted my progress and exploration on the path of growth: knowing what you love or what you are dissatisfied with, knowing the reason behind your emotions and reflect on yourself, imagining different scenes in your mind over and over again to consolidate your cognition. It should be like this: trying to emulating when seeing the good and self-examination when seeing the bad.

But the life at UIC is also rich and full of beauty and gratitude. In the past four years, I have been involved in the two traditional cultural societies of cross talk and Yale. Although my academic work and anxiety have increased, my love for them has increased day by day. Cross talk is the art of language and Yayue and its dance are the scheduling of the body. When programming a program and doing better over and over again, oneself will appreciate the unspeakable beauty of each process. The sense of ritual of grasping the details with companions together, laughing together, and putting on the costumes are all refreshing experiences in college life. I practice both internally and externally, learn to be confident in my strengths, and be humble in my weaknesses. This is how I practice the concept of "whole person" education.

UIC's accounting major has given me an international perspective and provided me with the opportunity to get the QP. Now I have the opportunity to participate in on-site audit work in the United States, the United Kingdom, Japan, and Hong Kong.

My major is accounting. Everyone thinks that accounting students are very hard. In fact, I think I am very proud of being a UIC accounting student. We have many good teachers. No matter it is a professional problem or other life puzzles, teachers are willing to help and share. In addition to the study of rigorous accounting professional knowledge, we also have many opportunities for us to apply our accounting knowledge to competitions or internships. For example, I participated in the case analysis competition of the Hong Kong Institute of Certified Public Accountants and the internship at PricewaterhouseCoopers. I have always felt that our UIC accounting students are very competitive.

Thanks to a good undergraduate education at UIC, I am fully able to adapt to the highly competitive environment of Hong Kong. During my master's degree, Mainland classmates came from prestigious universities such as Tsinghua University, Zhejiang University and Nanjing University. My good grades in courses are not inferior to those of my classmates. The employment situation in Hong Kong was not optimistic during the graduation year of my master's degree. With my outstanding performance in the written examination, manager interview, and partner interview, I soon received two offers from PwC and Deloitte in Hong Kong. I was the first to get the favourite job in Hong Kong among my classmates, and I had full confidence in my career development in Hong Kong.

Looking back on my school experience, I have benefited a lot from UIC's four years. Firstly, UIC's professional curriculum and teaching content are in line with international standards. The teachers are mainly from Hong Kong, Taiwan and foreign prestigious schools. The high-level teaching has enabled me to learn solid professional knowledge. Secondly, UIC has implemented four-year English teaching. With comprehensive training in all aspects of English listening, speaking, reading and writing, it is easy to adapt to the English learning environment and working environment. Thirdly, UIC has extensive business cooperation with universities, multinational companies, and social organizations in Hong Kong, Taiwan and abroad. The international education environment provides good conditions for students' international exchanges, internships, and professional development, which is very conducive to the growth of students.

When studying at UIC, Jiale Cheng set the goal of entering the "Big Four". At the beginning, with the purpose of expanding his horizons and social circle, Jiale Cheng chose UIC and came alone from Hong Kong to study. That was the first time Jiale Cheng had left home to live in a residential life. For him, it was not a small challenge.

At UIC, Jiale Cheng won school scholarship for three consecutive years and received a first-class honours degree when he graduated. In his spare time, he served as a student tutor in the accounting tutoring class for junior students, which cultivated his interest in accounting and laid a solid foundation for his career development. After graduating from UIC, Jiale Cheng entered the Graduate School of Business Information System at City University of Hong Kong and passed the professional qualification examination of the Hong Kong Institute of Certified Public Accountants with excellent results. After graduating with a master's degree, he successfully joined the audit department of PwC (Hong Kong).

Jiale Cheng said: "There are no shortcuts to entering the ‘Big Four'. Lay a good knowledge foundation, take accounting related exams, find internships, expand your horizons and knowledge.Gradually accumulate your own advantages step by step, and you will eventually get the desired result."

In a blink of an eye, I have stepped into the society, and it was UIC's novel and unique education model that made me who I am today. The English teaching model allows me to understand the professional knowledge of accounting and to be able to use English fluently. The group projects and classroom presentations made me accustomed to teamwork and able to express my opinions confidently. In my graduation year, I chose to apply for postgraduate school and a job at the same time. The process was very difficult but came out with good result. In the end, I chose to work for Deloitte.

As an undergraduate, it was in my expectation to stand out among many postgraduate students. English is basically required for interviews in international companies. If there is no practice environment in normal times, and take the interview with tension, the result can be imagined. Fluent English expression was the cornerstone of my success. In addition, the interview also involved group discussions and individual speeches, which were testing the ability to cooperate and express. People who are too sharp or do not express well are often eliminated. In the four years of UIC, the accumulation of these abilities has helped me stand out from many competitors and become the person the company needs. After four years of sharpening a sword, there is still a long road to life, and graduation is just the starting point.

She participated in the summer courses at Cambridge University in the United Kingdom during the summer vacation of her junior year. She used to be a member of UIC Financial Association and Saifu team and created an English magazine called ACT based on her hobby of English writing, which provides a platform for communication among students majoring in accounting. She likes to be in contact with different cultures, and she likes to communicate with people from different countries and cultures. UIC's accounting major provides students with many internship opportunities, and directly recommends outstanding students to the Big Four accounting firms at campus job fairs, and also announces many related social positions and provides a good employment platform.

As UIC accounting students, we may have a broader vision than students from other universities in the Mainland, and we will have a stronger ability to actively collect information. The biggest gain of the four years of university is to become more independent in thought and life, and to have a clear direction and plan for the future. I feel that I have also greatly improved my communication, interpersonal skills and leadership skills, which have made me stand out in the interview with Deloitte Hong Kong.

During my four years at Beijing Normal University, I have been equipped with meticulous business logic thinking by the friendly teachers. The celebrity lectures provided by the school have given me the opportunity to think fully and have a dialogue with industry leaders, which gives me broad view. The open classroom environment also allows me to fully discuss current industry hotspots and academic paradoxes with my teachers, allowing me to transform from a well-behaved high school student into a mature college student with independent thinking and expression skills. It was these characteristics that UIC gave me that I was confident in my junior year, and played steadily in the competition with other prestigious masters and won two big four accounting firm offers.

In the future, I believe that the characteristics given to me by UIC will enable me to face the uncertain challenges of the complex business world confidently and calmly and to walk more steadily and steadily on the road of my life.

On the desk of EY, I type tens of thousands of words of the report, discussing the economic situation and taxation of various countries with colleagues. Such an independent and orderly life, I think, is inseparable from the training and education at UIC.

In the big family of accounting majors, I not only make friends and gain knowledge, but also participate in a wealth of after-school and winter and summer vacation activities, improve communication and organizational skills, and broaden international horizons. Four years of fulfilling life is more stressful and more rewarding than students from other universities. The professional academic atmosphere, fierce competition environment, diverse cultural experience, and friendly classmates and teachers have allowed me to learn the joy of life and feel the difference in my heart. Thanks to UIC for allowing me to find myself and become myself; to inspire my progress and witness my growth. I am fortunate to have my beloved mentor and beloved professional company in these four years. I sincerely wish UIC and ACCT professional to continue to grow and become more brilliant.

The four years of study and exercise at UIC and the careful guidance of the teachers have had a great impact on my career choice. Among them, the experience of participating in QP competitions in my junior year has greatly improved my ability to solve problems and work with the team. The internship and full-time offer from KPMG are inseparable from the efforts at that time.

I am very grateful to every teacher I have met in the past four years. They have shown me a colourful corner of the world in their fields of expertise, and they have also promoted my progress and exploration on the path of growth: knowing what you love or what you are dissatisfied with, knowing the reason behind your emotions and reflect on yourself, imagining different scenes in your mind over and over again to consolidate your cognition. It should be like this: trying to emulating when seeing the good and self-examination when seeing the bad.

But the life at UIC is also rich and full of beauty and gratitude. In the past four years, I have been involved in the two traditional cultural societies of cross talk and Yale. Although my academic work and anxiety have increased, my love for them has increased day by day. Cross talk is the art of language and Yayue and its dance are the scheduling of the body. When programming a program and doing better over and over again, oneself will appreciate the unspeakable beauty of each process. The sense of ritual of grasping the details with companions together, laughing together, and putting on the costumes are all refreshing experiences in college life. I practice both internally and externally, learn to be confident in my strengths, and be humble in my weaknesses. This is how I practice the concept of "whole person" education.

UIC's accounting major has given me an international perspective and provided me with the opportunity to get the QP. Now I have the opportunity to participate in on-site audit work in the United States, the United Kingdom, Japan, and Hong Kong. At the same time, the form of teamwork in class teaches me the ability to manage and unite the team.

Four years of campus experience and life, from being an ignorant student to becoming a member of PricewaterhouseCoopers, my change is completely inseparable from UIC's cultivation of me.

First of all, UIC not only provides us with the basic knowledge necessary to enter a career, but also provides us with guidelines for obtaining a CPA certificate, laying the foundation for our future career. Secondly, UIC has a teaching system that ordinary universities do not have. This system requires us to complete a large number of learning tasks in a short time. Four years later, we unknowingly improved our ability to withstand the stress, which allowed us to adapt in advance to the work pressure brought by future work. Finally, the group project designed by UIC has exercised our ability to do things well. The works in the future careers are basically carried out in groups. Being able to get along with colleagues will play an important role in our future career development.

All in all, UIC is a university dedicated to teaching and thinking about the future of its students. As long as we work hard to be responsible for ourselves and others in this university, four years later, when you think of yourself before enrolling, you will be amazed at how much you have learned and understood! By the way, what I have learned about four-years-life in UIC -as long as you have a breath, you must persevere.
