Zihan beautifully balanced her high-achieving STEM profile with vibrant creative pursuits. She published literature at fifteen, crafted wire-mesh sculptures alongside her art professor mother, and spearheaded independent organic chemistry research sparked by her UKChO experience. Once trapped in severe overthinking and social anxiety, she cleverly mastered stress displacement through heavy emotional films and horror games, evolving into a proactive, resilient self-advocate. Shocked by her dream chemistry admission—which her father humorously likened to a classic imperial exam triumph—Zihan eagerly embraces a colorful future with her ultimate motto: "Onward."
