And then he obtained scholarship for pursuing his postgraduate degree in the Cambridge University and Oxford University (http://zh.wikipedia.org/wiki/%E8%98%87%E5%BE%B7%E4%B8%AD).

GCCPA has invited Dr. Seligman as their Chief Advisor, and a number of renowned professors around the world to sit in the Advisory Board (http://www.globalcppa.org/en/aboutus/our_team.html). The association has formed alliance with important units internationally to help promoting positive psychology and well-being in Chinese societies, some of the affiliated associations included the Ministry of Education of the People's Republic of China, the Positive Psychology Center of the University of Pennsylvania, the International Positive Psychology Association (IPPA), Tsinghua Univeristy's Department of Psychology in Shanghai, The Chinese University of Hong Kong, the Beiking Normal University's College of Psychology etc. GCCPA also organized its 1st International Positive Psychology and Education Conference of China in 2010 in Beijing.
