Clark Xu
Former Organizer, Boston

A native of Shanghai, Clark spent his early years studying traditional Chinese novels and practicing Chinese prose. Eager to try something other than literature, however, he next dedicated himself to the study of Computer Science at China's Fudan University.

After graduation, and instead of becoming a software engineer as expected, Clark made another drastic change in career choices by deciding to work for a major media company in New York.
While working in the Big Apple, he actively promoted the business potential and cultural aspects of China within the company, and also volunteered to work on a number of U.S.-China exchange programs dedicated to the promotion of mutual understanding between business leaders across the Pacific.

Clark is currently an MBA student at Harvard Business School. Together with his fellow Chinese colleagues, he is dedicated to promoting an increased presence of China on campus, and he aspires to bringing together networks of local people interested in Greater China and Asia.

Due to the strong influence of traditional Chinese martial arts novels on him in his early years, Clark actively practices Taiji, a martial art he learned from a mysterious old Taiji master he ran into many years ago in China.

Though he is deeply attracted to ancient Chinese philosophy and arts, Clark has also developed a strong parallel interest in state-of-the-art digital media techno-
logies, especially video games. As a complement to his engagement of the game industry from a business per-
spective, Clark meddles in the practice of becoming a serious gamer in his own right. He recently acquired a particular fever for one Asia's most popular new crazes -- Dance Dance Revolution -- for which he aspires to one day become world champion.

For those of you interested in brainstorming new entertainment ideas from both business and personal perspectives, don't be surprised if you are one day engaged by Clark and his multitude of "wild" ideas.
