I was so excited to be admitted to CMC as an intern, I have to say, it was a special and spectacular experience for me. It was my first time to be fully exposed to the UK television culture, which has given me deep insights about the industry. As a project assistant, I help to coordinate academic and social activities for the Chinese delegates and also help with some translation and interpretation work. I was very fortunate to have the opportunity to sit in the lectures given by world-class producers and directors. I even managed to grab the opportunities to communicate and exchange some thoughts with some iconic figures in UK TV industry, which has significantly broadened my horizons and shaped my views on how innovative skills can be used in the TV format development and production. This experience literately lit up the route of my future career and helped me to step into the television industry. Now I am a TV format developer at Hunan TV, one of the leading broadcasting corporations in China, responsible for format evaluation and market research. I have been successfully and constantly applying the knowledge and skills I acquired during the CMC internship into the workplace. I am proud to say, this experience was such an inspiration to me, it has built a bridge connecting the college learning with the real world. I love CMC and appreciate this opportunity. I also want to express my sincere gratitude to all the CMC professors and staff.
