热爱自然，感受世界

2022年初，吉林滑雪场雪道上，一群少年在银装素裹中穿梭、跃起。广东以色列理工学院材料科学与工程专业的大四学生游昊轩是他们的“免费教练”，这是他练习滑雪的第7年。这位滑雪少年的故事被他的大学同学陈新予用相机记录下来，拍摄成纪录片《踏雪前行（Step on Snow）》。

“我想尽可能游历世间的美好，”游昊轩说道，“母亲很支持我，她相信我能安排好时间，也希望我能更多地感受这个世界。这样的教育方式让我有了不一样的人生。”在母亲的支持下，游昊轩15岁时便考取了潜水资格证。“经历更多美好”也让他决定在大学毕业后前往欧洲深造。“那里的历史文化深深吸引着我，我希望能滑遍欧洲的雪山，游遍欧洲的海洋。”

热爱自然、对一切充满好奇的他，在探索自然的过程中慢慢意识到环保的重要性，并与自己的学科联系起来，未来希望深耕可持续材料领域。“大学做课题时，了解到我们每年会花很多财力和人力去捡海里的垃圾，帮海龟解脖子上的鱼线。这些环境问题其实都可以通过推广可持续材料解决。这方面欧洲做的比较好，希望自己到了那边可以学习他们的经验。”

选择广以，圆梦北欧

不久前，他实现了自己的梦想——欧洲创新与技术研究学院（EIT）向他发出了研究生录取通知书。游昊轩坦言，广以是他圆梦欧洲的一大助力。“当初选择广以，一是因为对以色列这个国家的兴趣，二是看中了广以在境外升学方面的优势。”

广以不管是在占地面积或是人数上，并不是传统意义上的“大”学，但这正是它的优势所在。游昊轩还记得四年前开学典礼上的校长致辞：“精致的校园足够容纳我们的梦想。” 在广以，只要有想法，就能遇到机会。学校丰厚的研究资源，让他在本科阶段就能加入教授的研究组，有机会接触不同的研究，找到适合自己的研究方向，减少了试错的成本。

游昊轩一开始对高分子感兴趣，去了Esmaeil教授的实验室。大四时又去了谭启教授的实验组研究介电材料。在专业领域上的大量阅读和实践让他在申请EIT的面试中脱颖而出，获得理想的offer。

如今，游昊轩对材料学科有了新的认识：“我原来认为材料更多是研究制造业，现在觉得材料这个专业是‘风口浪尖’，储能、光伏、半导体等热门领域都属于材料的研究范围，国家很重视这一领域的发展。”

精彩大学，全面发展

除了学习，游昊轩的课余生活也非常丰富。

他回忆起在学校篮球队参加CUBA阳光组比赛的时光，“因为时间紧迫，两个月内要让体能和技术适应比赛，训练过程非常艰苦。但这些高强度的训练，让我在面对困难时不逃避，磨练了我的意志力。更重要的是，我通过篮球认识了很多伙伴，他们在生活和学习上都给了我很大帮助。”

2019年初，游昊轩参加学校的志愿活动，到林百欣中学为学生们讲解物理知识。他坦言，大多数初中生难以对枯燥的公式提起兴趣，教学一开始并不顺利。在搭档的启发下，游昊轩结合有趣的故事对知识点进行讲解，用自身经历告诉他们知识并不只是书本上的白纸黑字，而是和世间万物息息相关。“讲浮力公式的时候，我给学生们播放了自己潜水的视频，并讲解为什么在水下不能憋气，帮助他们更好地理解抽象的知识。”

大三暑假，游昊轩前往泰都实业有限公司实习。泰都的CEO是以色列理工学院的学长，在实习期间他感觉自己是“带薪上课”。“正如优秀的工程师不仅要设计出速度快的赛车，这辆车也要能被赛车手驾驭一样，工程师不能眼高手低，要深入生产一线，确保项目能够实施。”

广泛涉猎并不意味着走马观花，看到更大的世界也需要步步积累才能登上高山。游昊轩笑道：“高中时曾调侃大学就有无尽的时间玩电子游戏了，然而这四年的游戏时间远不如高中多。”为了达到心目中的标准，他会舍弃一些无谓的消遣，在学习和兴趣上提高效率，扎实练好基本功，持之以恒，保持状态，把精力用在刀刃上。“比如滑雪，我并不是享受从山上冲下来的刺激。我会慢慢练习基本功，先把动作巩固了，再从山上滑下来。”

成长是为了看到更好的风景，其中意志力也很重要。“就像打球，我虽然不是球打得最好的，但一直坚持训练，哪怕进步慢一点，但通过长时间的努力，也会看到明显的提升。”

游昊轩认为，自己在广以的四年“不虚此行”。滑雪少年即将奔赴北欧逐梦，未来他将带着自己的热爱与坚持，继续踏雪前行。

Time flies and the second cohort of students are going to graduate from Guangdong Technion - Israel Institute of Technology (GTIIT) this year. We will present a series of interviews with the graduates from the Class of 2022, to show their stories at GTIIT over the last four years.

Here is the story of You Haoxuan, a student of the Class of 2022 from the Materials Science and Engineering Program.

Love nature, feel the world

By the beginning of 2022, a group of young men was crossing and jumping on the snowy slopes of Jilin Ski Field. You Haoxuan, a senior majoring in MSE at GTIIT, having been skiing for 7 years, was their “free coach”. His story was recorded by his college friend Chen Xinyu in the documentary Step on Snow.

“I’d like to witness the beauty of world,” Haoxuan said, “My mother is very supportive. She knows that I will arrange my schedule well, plotting out enough time for study, and wants me to experience the wonderful world. This has given me a different life.” With his mother’s support, Haoxuan got a diving license at the age of 15, and determined to obtain further study in Europe after graduation. “I am attracted by the culture in Europe, and hope to ski at all the mountains and swim in all the oceans there.”

He gradually realizes the importance of environmental protection while exploring nature, and hopes to deepen his career in the field of sustainable materials in the future. “While doing projects at the university, I learned that we’ve spent a lot every year picking up the garbage in the sea and helping turtles untie the fishing line around their necks. These issues can actually be solved by promoting sustainable materials. Europe is doing better in this field, and I hope I can learn from them.”

Dreams come true

Not long ago, he realized his dream – EIT sends a postgraduate offer to him. Haoxuan says that GTIIT helps him realize his dream. “The reason I chose GTIIT four years ago was twofold: I am interested in Israel, and GTIIT has advantages in applying postgraduate studies.”

GTIIT is not a large university, either in terms of the land area or the number of students, but that’s also where its strength lies. You Haoxuan remembers the speech of GTIIT’s chancellor at the opening ceremony four years ago, “The exquisite campus can accommodate our dreams.” Haoxuan agrees that at GTIIT, if one has an idea, he or she can always meet opportunities. The abundant research resources here allowed him to join a research group at the undergraduate level, giving him the opportunity to be part of different researches, and find the right direction for his future.

Haoxuan was interested in polymer and took part in Dr. Esmaeil Narimissa’s lab. In his fourth year, he studied dielectric materials from Prof. Daniel Tan. With extensive reading and practice in professional field, he stood out in EIT’s interview and got his dream offer.

Now Haoxuan has a new understanding of materials science. “I regarded my program as manufacturing, but now I can see it coming forehead, since those heated topics, like energy storing, photovoltaic and semiconductor, are all included in materials science. Our country also attaches great importance to its development.”

All-round development in GTIIT

You Haoxuan has many extra-curricular activities. He remembers the days preparing for the CUBA basketball match as a member of the GTIIT basketball team. “We had a tough training within two months. But it is the intense training that develops my mental quality and makes me brave enough to take on challenges. And more than anything, I made good friends! They’ve helped me a lot in study and life.”

In early 2019, he went to Linbaixin High School and taught physics as a volunteer teacher. At first, he found that most students have difficulty getting interested in boring formulas. Inspired by his partner, Haoxuan tried to combine interesting stories with knowledge, using his own experience to tell them the thing they learned is closely related to everything in the world. “I showed students a video of me diving in oceans when talking about the buoyancy formula, which helped them better understand abstract contents.”In early 2019, he went to Linbaixin High School and taught physics as a volunteer teacher.

In the summer of his junior year, Haoxuan went to Tetro, whose CEO is a senior at the Technion, for the internship. He learned a lot through this experience, “Just as a good engineer should design a fast car that can also be driven by a racer, an engineer should go deep into the production line to ensure the project can be implemented.”

Step-by-step accumulation is the premise to rise atop of peaks. To reach his goal, Haoxuan gives up unnecessary pastimes and focuses more on study, building up a solid foundation. “Take skiing as an example. I am not addicted to the excitement of rushing down the slope. Instead, I will carefully practice the basic skills and consolidate the movements first before skiing down the mountain.” 

Growing up is about having a border horizon, in which willpower is important. “Like in basketball. I am not the best basketball player, but am the one that keeps on training. Through a long time of hard work, I can see a significant improvement.”

You Haoxun thinks he has got what he wants in four years at GTIIT. The boy will go to Europe to chase his dream. In the future, he will carry his love and persistence, stepping on snow.
