Graduates Spotlight 2012 of SEIEE

Liu Wei

Technology, Dream, Entrepreneurship

 

With code in the left hand, passion in the right, Tech Otakus can save the world.


As I look back at my past years when trying to start up miHoYo, I realize the most important thing I have learned is that we should have the courage to follow our heart and intuition since they somehow already know what we truly want to become.

I am grateful to my mentors for their help and understand, and also to my classmates for their encouragement and support. And surely, my thanks also goes to my parents who never waver in their support for me although up to now I haven’t got the chance to articulate the game I’m working on to them. With their reassuring support and trust, I can pursue my dream and do things my way.

Having a dream is a good thing, perhaps the best thing, but that’s just not enough. The courage and the faith in pursuit of one's dreams are absolutely indispensable. Whatever the outcome of all the effort and hard work is, feats or failure, the dream is just worth it. My most valuable gains in these two and a half years as a postgraduate at SJTU are that I have found my dream and retrieved passion to actualize it. I want to express my most sincere thanks to SJTU for providing such a good platform to our team. Wish SJTU a bright future.

SJTU-ers, never lose your dreams!

 

About Him

Liu Wei Postgraduate in School of Electronic Information and Electrical Engineering (SEIEE), SJTU-Georgia Institute of Technology Dual Master Student.

 

He is the co-founder of miHoYo; he is passionate about technology and entrepreneurship; he loves both computer games and Japanese comics; he spares no effort in working, and takes achievements cool; he is a Tech Otakus and also an entrepreneur. He is Liu Wei.

 

Although Liu Wei is only 25 years old, he has established his own game-developing team miHoYo for almost three years. With a huge passion for ACG (Animation, Comic and Game), the team has paved the way to entrepreneurship. They were the second runner-up in the competition of “The New Entrepreneurial Talents” and got funded by Shanghai Technology Entrepreneurship Foundation for Graduates (EFG). They also won a RMB 200,000 yuan award in “Master Plan” Competition by designing an online flash game editor program. Afterwards, they were highly appraised for developing a 2.5D flash game engine called Misato.

 

They also once cooperated with SNDA in developing the game of “Crazy Arcade Heroes”. Due to their excellent performance, SNDA had the idea to takeover his team. However, after deliberation, he and the team decided to refuse the olive branch held out to them and pursue their own entrepreneurial course. In 2011, Liu Wei and his team were dedicated to developing iOS games, and released Fly me 2 the moon, their first game for iPhone. The game was quite popular in App Store.

 

Liu Wei has already worked out their future blueprint. He hopes that miHoYo could fill in the gaps in the ACG field of China and build Virtual Idol brands well known in China. Liu Wei has great confidence in his team and believes that they can achieve this goal in the future.

 

 

 

 

Ma Jixiang

Volunteer Teaching in West China


It is really a special moment now and I am greatly thankful to SJTU where I’ve spent seven years and a half studying and living. SJTU has enabled me a lot of experiences which lift my qualities and enrich my thought.

I joined the Tenth Postgraduate Teaching Mission, working as a volunteer teacher in Inner-Mongolia for a whole year. It is the life in such a different place for such a long time that broadened my mind, tempered my willpower and equipped me with the ability of good communication and coordination. More importantly, I love being volunteers since then and go on being actively involved in volunteer services, including Shanghai EXPO volunteer.

SJTU offers every student a grand platform on which we can fully show ourselves, get cultivated and make progress not only in skills but also in thoughts. As long as you are ready, she will offer you the power and assist you to seize the chance. Even if you still need to get further prepared, she will also offer you assistance to make you more confident.

I love SJTU and am pretty honored to have been a member of this family. To choose SJTU is to choose responsibility. Tomorrow, I will start my career course as a management trainee at Bank of Communications. What I learned on campus will certainly enable me to face up to the coming challenges with full confidence and good preparation.

Best wishes to SJTU as well as all schoolmates! Wish you all a bright future.

 

 About Him

 

Ma Jixiang Postgraduate in School of Electronic Information and Electrical Engineering (SEIEE)


There is no room for doubt that SJTU sure boasts all-round students and Ma Jixiang is just one of them.

 

“Only when we become competent and get well-trained, can we put ourselves in an invincible position during the future rat race and better serve our country and society”. For his excellent undergraduate performance at SJTU, he has been awarded the accolade of “Triple-A Student of Shanghai” and “Excellent Graduate of Shanghai”. Furthering study as a postgraduate, Ma Jixiang is more research-oriented and has been awarded several scholarships. He has also got three research papers published in the core periodicals based on his active participation in the National Natural Science Fund Program “Research on Alternative Gas of SF6” led by his supervisor.

 

Academic excellence is not all about him. Off campus, there is a bigger world for him. He once spent a whole year in the west China for volunteer teaching, which left him a lifetime memory: English teaching, lectures giving and textbook compiling. He and the team won high praise from the local government and school faculty and students. Back from Inner-Mongolia, he devoted himself to Shanghai Expo volunteer service. His commitment and dedication were approved and he was praised as “Excellent League Cadre of Shanghai Jiao Tong University” and “Excellent Volunteer of 2010 Shanghai Expo”, etc.

 

Later and recently, the internships as HR Consultant in GE China and as PTA in Monitor Group get him well prepared for a real career. He is ready to prove that besides being an all-round student, he can become a qualified professional in the banking sector.
