自我介紹 Self-introduction: 

Hello everyone, I’m Claire Wu, contestant number 10, from Hebei, China. I’m currently a first-year graduate student in finance at Columbia University and an intern at a Wall Street hedge fund. I’m thrilled to have the opportunity to stand on this stage and embrace new challenges!

At Columbia, a century-old institution, I’m not only studying finance but also captivated by its diverse and open cultural atmosphere. I particularly love sitting on the steps in front of Low Library, quietly reading or discussing global changes with friends from different countries - a kind of New York-style romance.

In my spare time, I’m a bilingual host. This year, I hosted Columbia’s Year of the Snake Spring Festival Gala, organized by the Chinese Embassy, and the China-U.S. Roundtable Forum. Using language and expression to build a bridge for cultural exchange between the two countries is something I deeply enjoy.

I also love playing the guzheng. My grandfather, a university professor passionate about classical literature, inspired my love for this instrument’s timeless charm and the gentle stories hidden in its melodies. I hope to share this Eastern elegance and warmth with the world! I’m Claire Wu, number 10. Thank you all!

家好，我是10號Claire吳崢，來自中國河北，目前在哥倫比亞大學攻讀金融研究生一年級, 也是一名華爾街對衝基金的實習生。非常高興有機會站上這個舞台，迎接新的挑戰！

在哥大這座百年學府裡，我不僅學習金融，也被這裡多元開放的文化氛圍所吸引。我特別喜歡在Low Library前的階梯上，靜靜地看書或和不同國家的朋友討論世界的變化，那是一種紐約式的浪漫。

課餘時間，我是一名雙語主持人，今年主持了由中國大使館舉辦的哥大蛇年春晚和中美圓桌論壇，用語言和表達，搭建起兩國文化溝通的橋梁，是件特別享受的一件事。

我還喜歡彈古箏，我的外公是一位熱愛古典文學的大學教授，從小在他的薰陶下，我愛上了這份流轉千年的韻味和琴聲中藏著的溫柔故事。我希望能將這份屬於東方的溫柔與雅緻，帶給世界！我是十號Claire吳崢，謝謝大家。
