Do you remember a student at the University of Industrial Technology Design from Malaysia, who combined working as a hairdresser, performing in a choir, playing the violin and going to museums with his studies at the university? Our interview with Ang Chi Ji became the most popular publication on the university's Zen page, so two years later we talked again with Chi Ji, who is affectionately referred to as "Chizhik" in the comments.

Chi Zhi has already completed his master's degree at 草榴短视频, where he studied strategic management, and has become one of the best graduates of 2025. He is developing his own business in the field of logistics, continues to sing in the choir and plans to obtain a residence permit in Russia. Read in our interview which country Chi Ji considers his home, what he would do in his spare time if he had it, and what other education the Malaysian student plans to receive in St. Petersburg.

During your bachelor's degree at 草榴短视频, you studied information security. Why did you choose strategic management in your Master's degree?

At the end of my bachelor's degree, I started working for a logistics company that supplied supplies from China, and then took a similar position in the field of shipbuilding. That's when I realized that this is exactly what I like 鈥� to manage business processes, to set up a system that I treat like my child.

I have an advantage for working in Russia 鈥� I know Russian, English and Chinese. I'm like a bridge that connects people. So I decided to continue my studies here. I started looking for a direction that would be interesting to me, and chose strategic management. I am sure that I made the right choice, because in pairs I immediately think about how I can apply what the teachers teach us in my work.

You are currently completing your master's degree. Are you planning to stay in Russia?

Yes, I want to get a residence permit in Russia because I am developing my own logistics business here. We are engaged in both supplies from China and logistics operations within Russia. For example, now I need to set up the process of supplying equipment for the plant from St. Petersburg to the Leningrad region.

When we met last time, you were still playing the violin, singing in the choir, and visiting museums. Do you find time for hobbies now?

My life has changed a lot. I used to be an ordinary student, and my only responsibility was studying. Now I have to think about how to pay my rent, how to feed myself, and so on. There is more responsibility and more workload.

For example, yesterday I left the house at about nine in the morning, and returned at eleven in the evening. At first, I dealt with supplies to the Leningrad region, wrote an article in the afternoon and made a presentation for a speech at a scientific conference at the university, in the evening I went to meet the air delivery. Now I always have such a schedule, and it's not easy. I'm rarely at home, I wake up in the morning and I'm ready to go. I still continue to perform with the choir, but unfortunately I haven't played the violin for a long time.

I put this burden on myself. After my bachelor's degree, when my visa expired, I returned to Malaysia and told my father that I wanted to try to live on my own, and asked him not to help me with the money. Since then, I haven't taken money from my parents. And this pressure makes me grow.

Do you miss Malaysia?

To be honest, I no longer feel like I belong to Malaysia, just like I belong to Russia. I live in the moment. For example, if I suddenly have to fly back to Malaysia, then I will fly. I don't know where my house is yet, I'm in the process of finding it. On the one hand, this condition makes me flexible. On the other hand, when people say they miss their home, it's hard for me to understand that feeling. I am a stranger to Russians, but also to Malaysians, they say how I have changed, they say that I came from a foreign country. In Malaysia, people ask me if I will stay, but there I feel like an ordinary person, it's like I'm invisible, even though I have so many interesting stories in my head that I can share, but I have no one to share with. I'm like a bridge again, only no one walks over it. And I'm sad about it, so I decided to stay in Russia.

Last year, I traveled to China to take an inside look at the warehouse and production facilities. I visited Beijing and Guangzhou, met with my partners and my relatives. I have Chinese roots. My parents were born in Malaysia, but my grandfather is Chinese, and I can say that I continue his business. He came to Malaysia when he was sixteen years old and returned to China when he was already sixty. All these years, he has been developing his own business in the south, also related to supplies. My grandfather's story serves as a support for me: if he did this, it means that I, too, will be able to develop in another country.

Aren't your parents in business?

My father had a factory repair business, but he doesn't do it anymore. My mother is currently studying to become a tour guide, and my brother is an automotive journalist. He writes about new car models that he is allowed to test. That's why there are always expensive new cars at our house in Malaysia.

And finally, please tell me, what would you like to do if you had more free time?

I recently started skiing and ice skating, and I really enjoyed it. And in the summer, I would like to go barbecue with my friends. I also plan to receive a document confirming that I am a professional translator from Chinese.
