LIU JIANSHU, JOHN (ORIEL COLLEGE, 2010 - 2011)
While working in rural China, I was very lucky to be admitted by Oxford University. Even luckier was that I received the generous support from Mrs. and Mr. Paterson, and this is the first year the Paterson Trust offers financial support for master students. Isn't that amazing? I've never got the chance to meet Mrs. and Mr. Paterson, so I am really looking forward to thanking them face to face.
So far my life in Oxford goes perfectly. I've settled down smoothly. I've met dozens of interesting people and become friends with some of them. I've made a study plan and before the start of term, I am already working on it. Jurisprudence and Political Theory, Constitutional Theory are two of Oxford's best and most challenging courses. The undergraduate course Company Law would help me lay a solid foundation of common law. I believe the coming year would be as exciting, if not more, as the year in China Rural Library. I will concentrate on my Oxford life and try to get the most out of it.
