world； the stardictd server is very fast while save much resources at the same time； after
load more than 1000 dictionaries； which have about 30Gb data； it cost only 16Mb memory。

附录一五 Statement of Purpose
I am writing to apply for PHD study in the department of computer science at University of
Delaware。 I am interested in Computers when I first get acquainted to it in the middle
school； then start my journey with it from then on。 I have done many things on Computers
in the past。 I consider it as a legend； but now I mainly concentrate on the future； this is why
I choose to continue my study in computer science field。
To be honest； I am not motivated to introduce myself anymore； because I have written 5
books to express myself； and I am a well…known people in my field（Linux community）。 I
need not introduce myself in most cases。 I just need to say： I am the author of StarDict
then people know who I am and they smile。 This may sound aggressive； but this is true。 I
am a Buddhism believer in fact。
I have done two successful projects： StarDict and ReciteWord； you can visit their project
website； stardict。sourceforge and reciteword。sourceforge。 StarDict is a
dictionary software； developed using C＋＋； it has 80 thousand lines of code and 4 millions
of users in the world。 It can run on Linux； Windows and Mac OS X。 I began this project
during my sophomore year in the university； and have been maintaining it from then on。
Five years have past； and I have put much effort into it。 It is the most meaningful thing that
I have done。 The other project is ReciteWord； it is a very useful and beautiful software。
StarDict has given me many awards。 I list them here：
2004' China open source software contest excellent software design GOLD prize。 It was
hosted in Beijing； and it was the biggest Linux contest and first of its kind hosted by the

society。 I got an IBM laptop as an award。

It brought me some money too； although it is open source software and being free to
everyone。 In 2007。1； I sold StarDict's copyright and the corresponding websites
（stardict。org） for several hundreds of thousand RMB to an information
technology company； while I still maintain StarDict and keep it open source。

附录一五 StatementofPurpose
After graduated from SiChuan University； I joined RedHat； the best Linux company on
earth。 I just send my resume to RedHat； and then I received the phone call soon in the
afternoon； who became my manager later。 He knew me； so the recruitment process was
very short and smooth。 I became an international engineer in the R&D department after
that； and now I have been worked there for more than one year。
Recently； I gave a speech in Beijing University of Posts and Telecommunications； the title
of this speech was 〃From normal to success； the road of StarDict〃。 A video presentation is
available from this address：
reciteword。cosoft。org/yaoguang/lecture/20071212。bupt/content。htm
It was an activity to invent well…known open source master to spread open source spirit to
100 Chinese universities。 As I am an example of developing free software in the university
and become successful in the society； my speech was very successful； the students said
that they feel very familiar when listening to my words。
Well； I am not only a technical people； I am a thinker too； that is where my 5 books come
from； I am interested in philosophy and religions too； and have written my thoughts into
books； it influenced many people in Chinese open source community； they said that my
books are very enlightening。 Some of them are available to download at：

Some of them are written entirely in English； as I like trying new things and being a
pioneer。
But； all these things are the past； I know my weaknesses and I want to put my effort to
consummate myself in the futu
