Hi, I’m Hengrui. I am now in my third year at Brandeis, majoring in International and Global Studies (IGS) and East Asian Studies. I’m enthusiastic about Japanese language and culture, animation, and international relations. For the sake of my love toward Japan, I have traveled to Japan a couple of times, and I also plan to study abroad at Waseda University in Japan in the Spring semester next year. I have studied EAS about East Asian history, Chinese modernism, Asian films and television, gender and sexualities, and Japanese language courses at Brandeis so far. And finally, I hope to enrich every EAS major/minor student's or any prospective student’s academic plus activity experiences by studying in the EAS department.
