　　Dear ---,

　　The personal data enclosed in this application file will demonstrate myprofile as a child prodigy who entered into Jilin University at 16 and joinedthe country's topmost scientific research institution as a graduate student at20. Now with an engineering e-perience of 4 years at the age of 24, I would liketo scale still higher intellectual heights by pursuing advanced studies, aneducation process that I hope will gain me the competitive edge for personalgrowth and push me to the forefront of scientific progress.

　　Immersed in the academic atmosphere of an intellectual family, I wasencouraged in my early childhood by my parents to read books in a wide range ofdisciplines. With this privileged background, I attended primary school at 6, atleast one year earlier than the normal admission age of 7 or older. I felt solucky-God blessed me with so many natural gifts. At an early age I showed anatural talent in mathematics and a strong memory, the attributes that enabledme to e-cel my classmates, especially in such challenging subjects asmathematics, physics and chemistry. I took part in a variety of provincial andnational contests, demonstrating my e-cellent academic skills and wining manyprizes.

　　Blessed with my academic potence, I was able to finish my primary andsecondary education in 10 years, two years ahead of the usual twelve years. At16, I entered a privileged class specially designed for the gifted students atJilin University, a cradle of scientific and technological talents in China. Theclass selects only 90 students out of more than 1000 child prodigies acrossChina each year. (Jilin University is a prestigious university of generaleducation with 20 departments and a regular annual enrollment of 1,500 students)I studied at Electrical Engineering (E. E) Department, a highly selectivedepartment with a gathering of smart students who are hard to compete with.

　　Four years of undergraduate studies had me well trained in a wide range ofdisciplines, and my outstanding academic performance encouraged me to pursue anadvanced degree. With a concentration on mathematics, communication andcomputer, I studied a variety of courses in my undergraduate years, among whichwere Higher Mathematics, Probability Statistics and Stochastic Process, Theoriesof Signal and Information, High Frequency Circuits and Principles of ModernCommunications Systems, Computer Principle and other courses in the ElectronicTechnology field. I also studied Western culture, History and Economics in orderto build up a good base for my education. With a wish to build a solidfoundation for my future research and study, I was fully devoted to my academictraining at college. My hard work proved to be successful. My overall GPA of3.57/4.0 ranked in the top one percent of my class. Upon graduation in 1994, Iwon easy acceptance into Beijing University of Posts and Telecommunications as agraduate student at 20, an age when most Chinese students would be just startingtheir university education. At this university, I narrowed my academic interestdown to the area of mobile communications and digital communications.

　　My MA education proved to be another period of fruitful and successfulacademic pursuits. Among the courses I selected were Probability Theory, ISDN& ATM, SPC, Digital Signal Processing, Personal Communications, C++language. These disciplinary training prepared me to delve deeper in the studyof electrical engineering and communications. To keep me informed of the latestdevelopments in my field and to brush up my English language skills, I also readthe latest professional journals and periodicals of the telecommunications on aregular basis. Burning the course of my MA program, my outstanding academicrecords won me various scholarships in seven consecutive years, among which, toname a few, were E-cellent Students, E-cellent Person, E-cellent fellowship.

　　To garnish this writing with other personal activities other than academicachievements, I need to mention my perfect performance in a dancing contest atJilin University, which won me the first prize.

　　Anyway, looking back at my campus life, I feel confident to say that I havefulfilled the education goal to my satisfaction.

　　Teaching E-perienceI worked as a teaching assistant at the ElectronicsCircuit Group in Personal Communications in my third semester at BeijingUniversity of Posts and Telecommunications. I taught product applications andthe telecommunications development in China. I trained the students bytheoretical approach and also taught them how to solve real problems bypractical means. I found the teaching position so much enjoyable. The dailyacademic e-changes between the students and myself were beneficial to bothparties. I believe that my students enjoyed my teaching too because my classeswere well attended.

　　Starting from April 1998, I worked as a part-time teacher at HPcorporation. Later I was also employed by Software Center Motorola, China. Itaught Motorola customers the principle of CDMA (Code Division Multiple Access)and the usage of the HP instruments for testing CDMA Base station and CDMAHandset. Motorola customers were all satisfied with my teaching. I not onlygrasped advanced knowledge but also, more importantly, learned how to be a goodteacher.

　　Research E-perienceIn the second year of my graduate studies, I began towork as research assistant of Professor Dacheng Yang, a renowned e-pert indigital and mobile communication Research and Design Center of Ministry of Postsand Telecommunications. After learning the background, application, principle,and advantage of CDMA, I selected the signaling design of the CDMA Base StationInterface as my research topic. I evaluated and studied the protocols IS-95,IS-634 and the ULTRA interface protocols of Lucent. Applying softwareengineering method and Oriented-Object approach, I designed the internalinterface of Base Station System between BSC and BTS-Abis interface, which isone of the most important parts of such a large and sophisticated project. Thenreferring to protocols LAPD/LAPF, integrating the latest knowledge and using onestep. By working on this project, I learned more about CDMA, GSM and othermobile communications systems. Later I felt so proud to hear what I had done wasdownloaded to the board and the design ran flawlessly.

　　Working E-perienceAfter I obtained my MA degree in engineering in 1997, Iwas employed by a telecommunication branch company of Posts &Telecommunications Industry Company. I participated in the JSU18 switchingSystem Project, which is planned to produce the si-th largest switching systemin China's own switching systems. I was in charge of the No.7 signaling sectionand developed the trunk communication system. Referring to protocol Q. 7, etc,I designed the TUP (Telephone User Part) & ISUP (ISDN User Part) - the mostimportant part of a switching system-with C++ Language. By now, I have finishedthe software flow of CPC (call process) of these two parts. Through programming,downloading the procedure into the real switching system, debugging and testing,I came to deeply understand the call process of the large switching system andthe relationship between all the modules of a large switching system. Theprocedure that I completed is so good that we can call successfully throughit.

　　In working on these two projects, I cultivated diligent work habits,independent research ability and team spirit. I feel I have the potential forfurther further academic growth and am ready to take up the challenge ofadvanced studies in my chosen field.

　　From August 1998, I joined Software center Motorola, China and got involvedin the CDMA project. We must communicate with international customers on afrequent basis in English environment. So I not only learned about the e-cellentsoftware development process and various branches of advanced knowledge, butalso improved my English ability. Here, we often e-change our findings atpresentations given by others and myself in English. I get a lot of technicaland non - technical training, in such subjects as Software Product Process, CDMA( Code Division Multiple Access), GSM, GPRS ( General Packet Radio Service - thethird generation system of GSM), TTCN ( Tree and Tabular Combined Notation - atest language), ITE- ( Interactive TTCN Editor and e-ecutor - a test tool forthe TTCN language), and even English language.

　　To live a meaningful life everyday; to continually pursue my predetermined worthwhile goals. -My view of life.

　　Could I put myself in the life-threatening working environment? Could I sacrifice my life for the benefits of others? Some people may laugh at my crazy question. To me, that is a serious question I have come a long way to find my answer. “I am not sure whether it is worth to answer”; “What is the true meaning of that question?”

　　When I was a young child, I watched a soap opera that was about court. I was deeply impressed by the judge’s calmness and the lawyer’s eloquence and resource that were showed in this opera. From then on, I hoped to study law some day. Fortunately, I performed well in entrance examination and got enrolled into __ University. Then I chose law as my major without hesitation. At university, I studied hard and got GPA 3.4. What’s more, I broadly read all kinds of books, including philosophy, history etc. My teachers’ instruction strengthened my understanding of law and makes me understand the significance of law to a country. From my studies, I had a lot of fun and got more interested in law. Moreover, I actively participated in practice in holidays from common company to law firm and tried to apply the theory I had learned into practice.

　　This summer, I had my internship in counselor department in __ Group Co Ltd which was involved in a business contract dispute, which was submitted to China International Economic and Trade Arbitration Commission for arbitration. As a representative of the requested applicant, I took part in the evidence collection in the early arbitration stage and clearly explained why the 5% balance of goods was not paid on time. After knowing the whole case, I visited my teacher, an Arbitration Law professor, and listened to her opinions. Realizing the counterpart didn’t completely implement their contract duty, I gave reasons as follows: First, the counterpart company didn’t mention bearing issue, which caused that the delivered machines couldn’t be put into the plant because of the disqualification of workshop. Thus overhaul was necessary, which delayed production and resulted loss. Based on these reasons, the counterpart didn’t completely carry out its duty, so our party did not pay the balance on time. During this time, I found out the evidence and pictures that attested counterpart did not give reasonable suggestion and service, and made a statement in the court. Finally, the arbitration turned out that counterpart compensated our loss, in which the arbiters invoked the reasons that I stated. They had a panel made up of 3 lawyers and 5 company representatives as agents while we just had 3 persons—two lawyers and me. Under such condition, I was able to cooperate with them and clearly stated my opinions without any nervousness, which got their respect. This matter greatly inspired my enthusiasm on study.

　　In addition, I took part in the contact draft in several companies. In the process, when I met a lot of problems, I often turned to my teachers for help, which made good impression on them. As I cherished each practice, I studied my specialty and English hard. With effective study method and diligence, I did well both in English and law, which helped me a lot to get scholarship every year. On the other hand, my practice inspired me to study. In practice, I exercised my legal knowledge. I also realize the big gap between theory and its application—sometimes I have master the rules but I didn’t know how to use it in actual case. My practice experiences have not only strengthened what I learned but have supplied new knowledge for me, which is good for my future study and career.

　　In my study and practice, I admired outstanding lawyers’ eloquence and jumping thinking more and more. However, in China, most of lawyers come from theory study and those who can perform well in practice are insufficient. Moreover, after the China’s entrance to WTO, there are a lot of problems with Chinese law. I think, my internship experience is not enough. In practice, I could combine substantive law with procedural law to analyze case, but I still feel my theoretical foundation is not solid enough. What’s more, comparably speaking, the chances that I have to initiatively study and practice are not a lot. Thereby, I am eager to study further abroad to know more about foreign law, thoughts and lawyer career so that I am able to stand out in fierce competition.

　　"All I know about leadership I learned from..." What items could a personuse to describe leadership qualities?

　　Inspired by the student council advisors at my high school.

　　Student council was a big part of my life in high school. I haveparticipated in it since my frst year of high school. When I frst joined, I wasquiet, na?ve, and unwilling to participate in many activities. I was scared tomeet new people and afraid to apply myself. This all began to change. Half waythrough my frst year in student council, one of the advisors can up to me andasked why I did not participate that much. I did not have an answer for her anddid not know how to respond. After this, I began to think of an answer. I becamefrustrated and decided to change. I started to show up at events and had a greattime. I realized I loved this and wanted to start leading these activities. Inmy sophomore, junior, and now my senior year of high school, I asserted myselfand took on a strong leadership role in student council. I did not fgure out theanswer to why I was so reserved until this year with the help of thisquestion.

　　Applied Program: Wireless Telecommunications

　　On August 27, 20_, at the Central Institute of the Datang TelecomTechnology and Industry Group based in Beijing, a young woman, full of energyand self-confidence, was giving a presentation entitled “The Design of theSwitching Numerical Method of the Radio Resource Management (RRM) Strategy inTD-SCDMA, and the Testing of Its Simulated Systems,” which received raptattention and high remarks from all the experts in Computer andTelecommunications who attended the meeting. That woman was I. At present,TD-SCDMA, W-CDMA, and CDMA 20__ are considered the main technological standardsin the third generation of the world’s technological development in mobiletelecommunications. And the design of a switching computation method for the RRMStrategy is a key element and technological crux for the TD-SCDMA technology. Inretrospection, I found that it was my great enthusiasm for mobiletelecommunications, and my persistent pursuit of accuracy and perfection thathave helped me win accolades from colleagues and experts.

　　In China, since the TD-SCDMA uses a smart antenna, it makes a demand for afiner research on the computation method for the RRM Strategy, in areas such asPC, DCA, and HC. To me, a new starter in the company, it was a real challenge.Since the research team was new, it lacked engineering data and practicalexperience, although the equipment of the lab was quite advanced. It was onlyafter much library research, thinking, and consultation with experts did I finda RRM computation method suitable for a smart antenna. Because a smart antennahas its advantages of a more accurate VE locating and reduced searching areas,this computation method effectively lowers the complexity of the switchingprocess and its failure rate. During the time when I worked for the project, Ioften stayed up several days in a roll to perfect a lab test. But I also derivedan enormous sense of satisfaction and fulfillment after overcoming obstacles,which more than compensated the pains and difficulties that I had to gothrough.

　　The rapid development of mobile telecommunication technology places a highdemand on professionals working in this field. To a certain extent, it has to bea labor of love. My keen interest in mobile telecommunications emanated from theconcept of “personal communication.” During my undergraduate years at theNorthwest University of Industry, I spent much of my spare time browsing overprofessional publications and journals, to keep myself abreast of currentdevelopments. The concept of “personal communication” I encountered during thisprocess impressed me immensely. A system of “personal communication” is one thatallows the user to communicate at anytime, anyplace, to anyone, and in any way.It painted such a beautiful of picture of a future society that I became fullyconvinced that it is a subject well worth my lifelong pursuit. This was why Ichose Mobile Telecommunications as my area of specialization in the graduateprogram. As a graduate student, I completed several research projectsindependently and successfully, including, for instance, “Turbo Code and theApplication of Its Coding Concept.” In short frame conditions, the Turbo Code,with its improved application in engineering, seems to have a bright future inreal-time voice-data service (Please see the attached article). After completingmy graduate degree, I entered Datang Group, a pioneer in China’s softwaredevelopment. Here I did software design for the switch control template used atthe RNC equipment for the TD-SCDMA system, and developed a switching computationmethod for the RRM Strategy. I went through the entire process of softwaredesign for the switch control template for the RNC equipment, from topicanalysis to the project outline and then to actual program writing.

　　The present development of telecommunication technology indicates that thesmart antenna, software radio, and the transmission technology of subline 下行high-speed subdivided exchange data (下行高速分组交换数据传输技术) are key technologies fortoday’s mobile telecommunications. Software radio, in particular, has attractedmuch public attention. The use of DSP and software to solve the problem ofwireless interfaces of diverse standards on a public hardware platform hasbecome a major issue pursued by many professionals in our field. I too hope tomake my own contribution to the technological development in this area. In thenext few years, the traditional concept of using chips to build wirelessequipment for mobile telecommunication will be seriously challenged. In recentyears, the technologies and standards of the third generation of mobiletelecommunication have been rapidly updated. Software radio, I believe, will bethe future of our trade.

　　My desire to know more about computer engineering prompted me to rise abovemy present conditions. The United States, as technological superpower, havefirst-rate teaching faculty and research facilities in the world. Itsideological openness and tolerance make a sharp contrast to Chinese culture,which tends to value tradition rather than innovation. Wirelesstelecommunication may be said to be one of the newest research areas, and it isnew concepts and new vision that give life to the industry. I believe that inthe fine research environment in the United States, I will be able to make“shortcuts” in attaining my academic and career goals.

　　I would like to apply for admission to the Center for WirelessTelecommunications of Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University. Asthe most prestigious research institute in Wireless Telecommunications, theCenter has a large number of famed scholars and professionals dedicated to thetheoretic research of Wireless Telecommunications. Meanwhile, it maintains closecontact with the telecommunication industry, and in this way can test the theoryin practical experimentation, which in turn promotes theoretic research. It isan ideal place for me to fully develop my research potential.

　　I look forward to finding a teaching position at college level in Chinaafter completing my graduate education, which will allow me to continue myresearch work in Wireless Telecommunications. I will impart my theoretic andpractical knowledge to my students, and hope that this will benefit China’swireless telecommunication industry, and society at large. I will make everyeffort to make the idea of “personal communication” a reality.
