以下是他在芝加哥大学经济系跟着James Heckman和Gary Becker两位诺奖得主做博士后时个人主页上的自述。
我既没有在高中，也没有在大学学习。在进入研究生院之前，我独自学习了高中和大学阶段的大多数课程，包括经济学，微积分，线性代数，概率论，统计学，英语和中国古代文学等。 我出生于1978年，我在中国内陆的一个湖南小村庄长大。在村里读完小学后，我于1990年进入湘乡市第一中学。由于家庭预算拮据，我是1993年中学毕业后，我选择就读于附近城市的一所技校（中专），而不是正规的高中就读的。18岁的时候，我开始在我的家乡的一家国有啤酒企业湘乡啤酒有限公司做推销员，并获得了1996-1997年先进员工奖。在接下来的几年中，我继续在那儿销售啤酒，直到2002年辞职。在我的大多数技校学习期间以及在推销员的整个过程中，我参加了全国自学高等教育考试。我从书店购买教科书，在业余时间学习，并在每年的周末两次考试。经过多年的学习，我分别于1997年和2001年获得了市场营销专业的大专文凭和本科文凭。但是我没有学士学位。随后，我参加了全国研究生入学考试，并于2002年以全日制研究生的身份被浙江大学录取。2005年获得经济学硕士学位后，我继续攻读香港中文大学经济学博士学位，分别于2007年和2011年获得学位。自2011年以来，我一直在芝加哥大学经济学系从事博士后研究。我的研究兴趣在于劳动经济学与发展经济学。
Neither did I study in high school nor in college. Before entering the post-graduate school, I studied most courses at the high school and college level by myself, including Economics, Calculus, Linear Algebra, Probability Theory, Statistics, English, and Chinese Ancient Literature, among others.Born in 1978, I grew up in a small Hunan village in inland China. After completing primary school in the village, I entered into the No. 1 Middle School of Xiangxiang City in 1990. Due to the tight family budget constraint, I chose to study at a technical school in a nearby city, Yiyang Marketing (gong xiao) School, rather than at a regular high school after I completed the middle school in 1993.At age 18, I began working as a salesman for a state owned beer enterprise, Xiangxiang Beer Co. Ltd, in my hometown and won the Distinguished Employee award in 1996-1997. I continued to sell beer there for the next few years until I resigned in 2002.During most of my technical school years and all throughout my time as a salesman, I had been registered at the National Self-Taught Higher Education Examinations. I bought textbooks from book stores, studied during my free time, and took examinations twice a year on weekends. With years of self-studying, I obtained the associate college diploma and the college diploma in 1997 and 2001, respectively, majoring in Marketing. But I do not have a bachelor degree.Subsequently, I took the National Postgraduate Entrance Examination and enrolled into Zhejiang University as a full-time post-graduate student in 2002. After obtaining an M.A. degree in Economics in 2005, I continued to pursue M.Phil. and Ph.D. in Economics at the Chinese University of Hong Kong and received the degrees in 2007 and 2011 respectively.Since 2011, I have been conducting research as a post-doctoral scholar in the Department of Economics at the University of Chicago. My research interest lies in Labor and Demographic Economics and Economic Development.
