WEEK 3: Exploring Writing Process-Interview

I interviewed a professor whose name is Ke,Feng. He is a professor of Economics at Peking University. The method that I used for my interview is by phone that I ask questions and he answered through the phone call. Below are the questions and the answers from professor Feng.

Miao: What do you like about your job?

Feng: I love the complexity and difficulty of economy because this can encourage me to work hard and contribute a lot to the economic domain and my country.

Miao: What’s your favorite part as your job and why?

Feng: I enjoy the process while analyzing problems of economics and thinking how to put results into the practical application. This part is enjoyable for me and I can contribute to the society due to my job.

Miao:What challenges are typical with your job?

Feng: From my perspective, the biggest challenge for me is to think what knowledge can be used in the practical application to produce lots of positive effects because the knowledge I have is too abstract to bring a lot of benefits immediately and directly. 

Miao: Why do you choose this job?

Feng: When I was young, China is confronted with a lot of problems like Anti-Japanese War, Civil War, etc. Because of these reasons, Chinese economy was extremely bad. At that time, I decided to help my country recover the economy by studying hard and becoming an economist. This is why I am still concentrating on analyzing the economy and improving the economic strength of my country now.

Miao: I know that your are working at Peking University now, have you ever worked in a company before? 

Feng: No. I am working at Peking University all the time for teaching smart student in the business college and focus on analyzing economic theories and their applications.
