"The endless pursuit of improvement is the only way to maintain existing advantages. Only by not being willing to accept the status quo can we maintain the status quo. These are the words that Xu Yunyang often hangs on his lips.

Xu Yunyang, a 2016 graduate of the School of Science and Technology of Ningbo University, began to contact cross-border e-commerce in his sophomore year and has been deeply involved in this industry so far. He said that choosing to pursue his dream in Ningbo has always been his proudest decision.

Be brave and try, there is no limit to youth

In his sophomore year, Xu Yunyang contacted the stock market out of curiosity and unexpectedly harvested the first bucket of gold in his life. This harvest did not satisfy Xu Yunyang, but stimulated his strong entrepreneurial spirit. He often said to his friends, "I want to do something."

At that time, a foreign trade course allowed him to find his way. In class, he learned about cross-border e-commerce for the first time and registered the first cross-border e-commerce store. 2013 is the outlet for the development of cross-border e-commerce, and daring to stand on the cusp to meet the unknown challenge requires great courage for a sophomore. However, with the courage of the newborn calves who are not afraid of tigers, a keen sense of business smell, and the advantages of Ningbo's foreign trade environment, Xu Yunyang only took half a year to earn the second bucket of gold in his life.

In addition to the excitement, Xu Yunyang calmed down to sum up the experience, and took his own experience as a case to participate in many entrepreneurial discipline competitions. From 2014 to 2015, Xu Yunyang's team won the first prize and the second prize of the Zhejiang E-commerce Competition, the second prize of the National E-commerce Competition, the bronze prize of the National "Internet +" College Students Innovation and Entrepreneurship Competition, and the second prize of the First Youth E-commerce Competition in Jiangbei District, Ningbo City.

The small tests and achievements of entrepreneurship and discipline competitions have made Xu Yunyang more determined in the future development direction. "When I go to college, some people like to play games, some people like to enjoy life, but I like to pursue new things and explore more impossibilities in life." This is the life that Xu Yunyang pursues.
