Meet Li, a 22-year-old international student from China who is studying Environmental Engineering at the University of Waterloo. Having grown up in a tightly controlled educational environment, Li has developed a keen interest in social justice and humanities. Frustrated by the limitations on open discourse back home, she actively engages with her peers to promote awareness of diverse perspectives. Li often reflects on the challenges faced by fellow Chinese students in adapting to a more liberal academic atmosphere and uses her voice to spark conversations about the importance of a well-rounded education.
