The 18-year-old son of Taiwanese television personalities Wang Renpu and Ji Qin has achieved a significant academic milestone, graduating from Columbia International College in Canada. The proud parents traveled to Toronto to witness their son, known as "Xiao YA," mark this important moment in his life.
Xiao YA's academic success extends beyond his graduation; he has been accepted into five prestigious international universities. Adding to his accomplishments, he secured a substantial scholarship totaling C$72,500, which converts to approximately NT$1.68 million. This achievement follows in the footsteps of his sister, Lele, who also received a significant scholarship last year.
We are very happy that they can walk their own path and have both chosen very good universities in their minds, so we feel a sense of accomplishment and wish them well.
Wang Renpu and Ji Qin expressed their deep emotion and pride as they watched their son complete his high school education. They shared their joy on their YouTube channel, "Qin Ren Play What," highlighting their happiness that their children are forging their own paths and choosing universities that align with their aspirations. The couple emphasized their sense of accomplishment and offered their heartfelt blessings for their son's future university life.
The graduation ceremony, which lasted over three hours, saw Xiao YA being recognized for his acceptances into universities including the University of Toronto, McMaster University, Western University, Monash University, and the University of Sydney. Despite the celebratory atmosphere, Xiao YA humorously admitted that his primary thought after receiving his accolades was hunger, as he had skipped breakfast and had only a slice of pizza for lunch. His lighthearted reaction amused his mother, Ji Qin, as he eagerly inquired about their post-ceremony meal plans.
I'm so hungry!
