About Me — Chunbo Liu

“The journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step.” — Laozi

Who I Am

I’m Chunbo Liu (刘淳博), a 16-year-old high school student based in Changchun, China.

I identify as an INTJ. I value depth over breadth, systems over shortcuts, and genuine understanding over surface-level performance.

I have many ideas to achieve, some of them attract me a lot, some of them have much potential which I am willing to dream with.

My Academic Background

• 🥈 2025 CMO Silver Medal

Intellectual Interests

Mathematics × AI

I’m fascinated by the intersection of formal verification, LLM reasoning, and mathematical proof. My competition math background (linear algebra, proof theory) gives me an unusual entry point into this space.

Philosophy

I read and think seriously about both Eastern and Western philosophy:

• Eastern: Laozi, Zhuangzi — the Tao Te Ching and Zhuangzi are constant companions
• Western: Plato, Kant — epistemology, ethics, metaphysics

Philosophy isn’t a side hobby for me. It’s integral to how I approach problems and build frameworks for understanding the world.

Languages

• Native: Mandarin Chinese
• Working: English (TOEFL preparation)
• Self-studying: Japanese

My Philosophy of life

Actually, being a person who only pushed by impossible interests easily felt confused and desperate. I can’t be accepted by classmates around me, my ideas are always seen as a domb.

So how to keep my own pace is such an important proposal for me.
