[Explanation] Wu Huijun, 48, is a Malaysian scientist who won the "Malaysian Top Ten Outstanding Youth Award".

For more than ten years, new technologies have been developed to solve the problem of sustainable energy development in developing countries.

In 2018, Wu Huijun went to China to learn about the development status of China's power engineering, and he was very pleasantly surprised.

Wu Huijun, who has visited many countries in Europe, America and Asia and has many years of overseas work experience, hopes to turn his career focus to China.

  I haven't been to China since 2009, so when I came here in 2018, I felt that compared with 10 years ago, there is actually a very rapid development, maybe this is one of the reasons why I can consider coming to China.

Then there was the ASEAN Outstanding Scientist Program, so I applied. After the application was approved, I stayed in Guangxi University for a year. After a year, I felt that the entire scientific research environment and atmosphere were very good.

  [Explanation] Due to the excellent scientific research environment, Wu Huijun chose to stay in Guangxi and was employed as a professor at the School of Electrical Engineering of Guangxi University, and served as the head of the Department of Electrical and Automation.

In the past three years, his research topic has made significant progress, and he has applied for an invention patent.

At the same time, he also directed more than 30 masters and doctors to carry out research together.

  The characteristics of (Chinese students) are that they respect their teachers and are hard-working. Usually, if I am here, I will leave after 6:00 or 7:00 today, and then the students will stay until 10:00 or 11:00 in the evening. , and then on Saturday and Sunday they may come to the laboratory to do research like this.

They still have certain requirements for what they do, so including my master students and my doctoral students, they usually try to do their best.

  [Explanation] Wu Huijun introduced that the current scientific research projects he and his students are carrying out are mainly to solve the uncertainty caused by the connection of a large number of renewable energy to large-scale power systems.

These studies are in line with the “dual carbon” goals of carbon peaking and carbon neutrality proposed by Chinese officials in recent years, and are promising and meaningful.

  Including me as an example, is what my doctoral student did. What he did was to supply 5g base stations with waste power generation, so this is actually a subject that complies with the "dual carbon" goal.

So when your power dispatch and utilization are higher and stronger, you can actually reduce a lot of unnecessary waste and loss.

  [Explanation] Since 2019, Wu Huijun has participated in a series of China-ASEAN scientific research activities for several consecutive years, helping to build a bridge for scientific and technological communication between China and ASEAN countries.

Due to his outstanding contributions, in 2021, Wu Huijun became the first foreign member in Guangxi to be elected to the Chinese Society of Electrical Engineering, which is the highest academic honor for a member in the society.

On campus, Wu Huijun often rides his bicycle between the office and the laboratory.

He said that Nanning City, where Guangxi University is located, has good greenery and convenient life, and the food and drink suits his taste.

In the future, when the epidemic prevention conditions permit, he hopes to bring his family to Nanning for a long-term stay as soon as possible.

  (Guangxi) In fact, life is okay. I think I can be anywhere in life, including food, including culture, and at least when I speak Chinese, I don’t actually face a big problem.

My family is very supportive (living in China), if it is not because of the epidemic, my child should be in junior high school in the middle school attached to Guangxi University. Because of the epidemic, they can't come here, so they can only stay in Malaysia.
