Looking back on my swimming career for the past two years, Ian said: "In the past year or so, I returned to Hong Kong to train due to the epidemic. I practiced very hard. I practiced everything I could. For the sake of Eastern Olympics, I also suspended my master’s degree course. After visiting the Eastern Olympics, I have no detailed plan, but I will definitely go back to the United States to complete my studies. I am planning to convert my unfinished master's degree program to a doctoral degree, and I will have the opportunity to return to Hong Kong to develop in the future."


Ian, who has been living and growing up in the United States, seems to have the casualness of a local teenager. At the age of 24, he loves comfortable and casual clothes.In addition to water training, Ian also conducts physical training on land to maintain a perfect posture!
