XING YU, RAINIE (SOMERVILLE COLLEGE 2019 - 2020)
Life begins at the end of your comfort zone.
When I was in my high school, I made up my mind to pursue a Bachelor of Laws degree even if my parents thought I had talent in accounting (just like them). I clearly knew that to study law is to study a country’s ethical and moral framework. It’s a good point of reference to see on what principles that society was founded irrespective of culture (which is constantly changing) and what value systems are in place. With this in mind, during the study in university, there is one, often intangible subject that every legal system must learn to deftly navigate, and this is the regulation of goods, objects, and services ultimately fueled by finance and stoked by the banks. After my graduation, people around me said, “Cherish your opportunity to study for a master's degree in law in China, which is the easiest and most comfortable way.” In my mind, however, law may be done in a different manner depending on the wealth and/or political priorities of a nation, but nobody would disagree that financial regulation is quintessential and in contemporary times, an ever-changing aspect of our larger global ecosystem. This also changed with the advent of crypto currency.
Therefore, I wish to pursue a Law and Finance MSc degree at Oxford to conduct more thorough research in analyzing economics in an environment that will allow me to ask questions and explore topics. I hope to explore corporate interest in developing China and the legality and right of state-owned enterprises to compete. I also believe the reputation of an education at Oxford would give me a great opportunity to further my studies in a doctoral program.
The reason why we are human is that we are able to distinguish right from wrong and we are caring and considerate. The Trust made me believe I’m worthy of love, not because of what I achieve but because of who I am. No words can express my appreciation for Mr. and Mrs. Paterson, whose selfless and invaluable assistance paves the way to this reputable university for countless students. I would also express my gratitude to all the people at the Trust for their kind help and encouragement over the past few months. Thank you very much!
There is a saying that goes, “The world is what you are”. The generosity of Mr. and Mrs. Paterson has taught me the importance of helping others and giving love to society and even the whole world. I will devote my life to be a good legal professional and spare no effort in my future way of helping people in miserable conditions.
