She enjoys the simple pleasures of shopping, playing the piano and building Lego sets, and, at the same time, she is also drawn to extreme sports, eager to try skydiving, bungee jumping and rock climbing.

Photography, however, is one of her true passions. "When I take photos of others, I want to capture their stories," she explains. "Through these images, I can imagine their lives in that moment, and also reflect on why I took the photo and what I was doing at the time."

For Chen, photography is not just about images, but about preserving moments. "If someone else takes photos of me, it feels like they're documenting my life. When I look back at these photos, I can recall many stories and details that remind me of the moments they captured," she says.

Chen's perspective on life is shaped by her experiences in diving, where she has spent over a decade honing her skills. "In diving, you have five attempts," she notes. "You push through each one, even if you make mistakes along the way. You can't afford to get discouraged, because you won't know the results until you hit the water."

But for Chen, the lessons learned in diving go far beyond the pool.

"Life is about finding joy in the everyday moments, discovering what makes you happy, and constantly learning and growing. Whether it's diving, academics or personal pursuits, I want to continue improving, stay strong and keep pushing forward."
