　　Brought　up　in　a　shabby　and　cramped　small　apartment，I　was　fas
cinated　in　my　childhood　by　the　exquisite　houses　and　condominiums　I
　watched　on　TV　in　images　that　had　been　shot　in　the　developed　co
untries.　It　has　since　been　my　dream　to　build　up　in　China　the　sa
me　kind　of　quality　human　habitat．I　believe　that　this　dream　can　c
ome　true　if　I　get　to　undertake　advanced　studies　in　architecture　a
t　your　university.　
　　I　am　now　erecting　fundamental　building　blocks　towards　the　reali
zation　of　my　dream　at　the　Harbin　Institute　of　Technology（known　as
　HIT），from　which　I　am　scheduled　to　graduate　next　year.　This　eli
te　institution　accepted　me　in　l995　in　recognition　of　my　strong　pe
rformance　in　the　National　University　Entrance　Examinations，　held　on
ce　every　year　nationwide　to　screen　high　school　graduates　for　highe
r　education.　Here，　I　have　received　vigorous　training　in　structure　
engineering，an　area　of　study　that　is　essential　to　the　country's　f
renzied　construction　industry.
　　Deeply　in　love　with　my　chosen　area　of　studies,　I　have　turned　
my　mind　into　an　engine　of　creativity　during　three　years　of　discip
lined　learning.　Courses　of　my　major,　particularly　structure　mechanic
s，architecture　material，and　survey　of　engineering，fascinate　me　so　
much　that　I　am　sometimes　completely　enthralled　in　studying　them.　L
ooking　now　at　the　reinforced　concrete　structures　around　me，I　not　
only　detect　the　configuration　inside　easily　but　also　arrive　at　som
e　preliminary　assessment　of　its　strengths　and　weaknesses　quickly.　E
verything　that　comes　into　my　sight　presents　itself　in　the　framewor
k　of　some　form　of　structure.　Carefully　groomed　as　the　only　child　
in　my　family，I　cannot　stand　being　the　second　best　in　any　group　
and　situation，especially　when　it　comes　to　a　contest　of　intellectua
l　caliber.　At　HIT，I　beat　the　odds　and　excelled　all　of　my　fellow
　students　in　academic　studies，making　myself　the　undisputed　academic
　leader　of　the　c1ass.　Students　and　faculty　alike　are　so　accustome
d　to　my　academic　excellence　that　everybody　would　be　surprised　in　
class　if　I　happen　not　to　be　able　to　answer　a　question　better　th
an　others　even　once.　My　motto　is：one　either　comes　out　the　first，
or　he　is　a　failure.　The　university　has　awarded　me　a　string　of　s
cholarships　and　other　accolades　in　praise　of　my　academic　achievemen
ts.
　　But　I　am　no　bookworm.　In　fact，I　am　constantly　engaged　in　a　
host　of　extracurricular　activities，for　which　I　have　been　conferred　
a　Special　Commendation　for　Participation　in　Social　Activities.　I　ha
ve　run　and　won　the　position　of　monitor　in　my　class　during　my　fi
rst　semester，which　made　me　a　natural　student　leader.　Active　on　ca
mpus，I　was　then　appointed　the　recreation　officer　of　the　Student　A
ssociation，in　charge　of　organizing　entertainment　and　other　recreatio
nal　events　for　the　benefit　of　the　students.　I　now　also　serve　as　
the　president　of　the　Society　of　Student　Architects　and　Engineers.　
Such　involvement　in　the　student　affairs　has　tempered　my　skills　in　
leadership，organization　and　communication.　But　more　importantly，it　h
as　broadened　my　horizon　and　deepened　my　insights　in　terms　of　what
　constitutes　beauty，grace　and　strength，which　I　believe　will　always
　help　me　in　my　engineering　designs.
　　I　would　like　to　mention　here　my　passion　for　a　uniquely　orient
al　sport　called　weiqi，known　as　the　game　of　go　in　the　English　pa
rlance.　An　intricate　chess　game，it　is　challenging　to　even　the　bes
t　and　brightest　minds.　One　usually　has　to　be　a　full-time　player　
to　play　it　well．Not　to　be　daunted,　I　not　only　joined　the　Weiqi　
Club　on　campus　but　also　taken　part　in　a　national　contest，in　whic
h　I　won　the　12th　place　and　the　HIT　team　I　led　won　the　3rd　pla
ce.　My　achievement　in　the　weiqi　sport　testifies　to　my　superior　me
ntal　power　and　intellectual　resourcefulness.　
　　To　tap　fully　into　my　intellectual　resources，I　would　like　to　t
ake　up　the　greater　challenges　of　helping　to　design　my　country's　s
kylines　in　the　21st　century.　For　that,　I　need　better　training　tha
n　what　I　have　received．An　American　education　will　expose　me　to　n
ew　perspectives　and　endow　me　with　new　inspirations.　When　I　get　to
　combine　my　Chinese　perspectives　with　those　of　the　West，I　should　
have　no　trouble　fulfilling　my　ambition　of　cutting　one　of　the　best
　structure　engineers　in　the　world．With　that，I　want　to　design　and
　build　the　most　beautiful　structures　in　China.　
　　To　ensure　both　my　future　and　that　of　my　country's　construction
　industry,　I　sincerely　hope　that　I　could　be　admitted　into　your　u
niversity.　I　am　confident　that，if　I　can　be　lucky　enough　to　study
　under　your　seasoned　guidance　and　with　your　kind　financial　assista
nce，many　people　in　China　will　never　have　to　endure　the　kind　of　

shabby　and　inconvenient　apartments　that　I　endured　as　a　child.
