WuDajing pursues academic career after skater

Wu Dajing has gained a PHD degree and now serves as a professor at the School of Physical Education of Jilin University, while also working as a coach with the Ice Sports Management Center of the Jilin Provincial Sports Bureau. As Wu himself put it: “Putting down my skates and picking up a lesson plan, standing on the lectern as a Jilin University professor and seeing the students’ eyes filled with a thirst for knowledge, I suddenly understood this: an athlete’s mission is to push the limits, while an educator’s responsibility is to pass on the love.”
