Thank you Fei Fei for this interview. I was also teaching at Parsippany HS in Mathematics with Bob Sabella when you arrived. I remember how he took you under his wing with the independent curriculum as he told us from the start "this girl is a genius and very special". I remember you sitting in the math office studying under his vision for you. Also his travels to your wedding and helping support the dry cleaner. So thrilled to hear you praise his guidance and your success credited to him. I am so happy to just find this 7 year old Stanford conversation and find your success. Parsippany is very unique for the immigrants and ESL program. Thank you!!

Although she was initially confused by American values and traditions when she first arrived, it’s clear that she has since accepted and embraced them. She truly appreciated the opportunity to come to the United States and achieve what she has, and I believe the U.S. is also fortunate to have her as a citizen. I find her story very inspiring.

Thank you for sharing your personal stories from a new immigrant to the professional experiences in America.  I feel inspired.  I am so proud of you and your work and accomplishments. Thank you!

thank you Dr Li for speaking up for immigrants in scientific research

I am surprised by how rude the comment section is. It's an interconnected world now, sharing opinions is okay but please be polite to one another.

Thanks for sharing the story.
The value and the impact of the story is not less than your imagenet !

Thank you Li Feifei for your experiences and personal growth stories when you were in China and after coming to U.S. That is so inspiring.

What an outstanding intellectual and decent human being 👍👍👍

I’m inspired ! Thanks for sharing your experience Dr Li

In three years she grew from  an English-illiterate girl into a forefront hi school graduate qualified for Princeton. Wow. She is a genius!

By succeeding through hard work, Dr. Li ought to be a role model for all kids .... I believe that her work in machine vision  will continue to change the world as so many industries can benefit from it. She and her family would be welcome to move to Vancouver BC - one of the top 10 livable cities in the world. It's not that cold up here in  and we have better Chinese and Italian restaurants :)

@4:00 i like how polite she is waiting for the host to sit on chair first.

So pleasant to watch and listen to her.   Genuine.

Suddenly I realized, Stanford is becoming the “Holy Grail” of the STEM in the entire world because of the Fei Fei Li-like professors. Also the sitting president of Stanford is a great leader. I will strongly recommend Stanford to my acquaintances and their kids.

Dr. Li is a remarkable human being. Best wishes Dr. Li.

She is my inspiration

Tenemos una excelente espero así

She reminds me of the Chinese I worked with on the Ship. Humble and willing to get kicked around. This is the part a lot of people miss when looking at a Chinese person in academia. A lot of people who get on TV are obnoxious. They think they deserve not only Harvard but the bed you sleep in.

Thank you!! Very inspirational.

I am so impressed With this woman's insight!
