About

Cleopas Fang | 方順
Christian, Chinese

I can be referred to as Shun Fang, Cleopas Fang, and 方順. The name Cleopas was adopted in 2020, rooted in the disciple described in Luke 24:13–35, who encountered the resurrected Jesus on the road to Emmaus. I prefer to display my name as Cleopas Fang in most situations.

I am interested in multi-modal foundation models. Here is my Curriculum Vitae.

I focus on politics, particularly in Japan-Taiwan-China relations. My political enlightenment was influenced by Taiwan People’s Party Chairman Ko Wen-je, the 2024 Taiwan presidential election candidate, and this is a photo of us taken on October 15, 2023, along with his birthday wishes for me. On the eve of the Blue-White Alliance political consultation meeting between the Kuomintang and the Taiwan People’s Party, we embraced and took another commemorative photo together, with my suggestion and hope that the opposition presidential candidates reach a consensus to proceed with cooperation.

I have been training in Table Tennis since childhood and received coaching from Wu Jingping at the Huangshan Training Base, a former coach of the Chinese national table tennis team and the mentor of Olympic champion Fan Zhendong, and here is a photo of us taken after a multi-ball training session. I have written Chinese Calligraphy since the age of six, here is my portfolio. I’m keeping a diary in Chinese.
