Hi, I’m Cheung Yan Yu（張恩瑜）. You can also call me “Octopus”! In Cantonese, if you say “Cheung Yan Yu” quickly, it sounds similar to “zoeng jyu” (章魚), which means octopus. So somehow, my name accidentally gave me this little  nickname.

I am a sociology undergraduate at Peking University.

I am broadly interested in sociology, history, literature, and technology. Growing up in Hong Kong deeply shaped my perspective on identity, culture, and the ways different social worlds connect. While I am still discovering new questions, my current interests center around social capital, education, technology, and organizations.

However, this page is not excatly a research page, as it may be too early for me to to settle on a specific academic focus,. For now, this site is a place to document the things I have made, and wondered about along the way.
