Seizing the development of the IP industry

In 1992, Amy's life took its first major turning point as she bid farewell to her hometown and settled in the South China city of Zhuhai to pursue her professional career.

In 1997, she took the National Unified Bar Examination in Zhuhai and obtained the bar qualification. Thereafter, she obtained a Bachelor of Laws from Sun Yat-sen University and a Master of Law from the China University of Political Science and Law. However, when she moved to Macao in 2000, she had already become a qualified lawyer in Mainland China. As a Macao citizen, she also lost the qualification of employment in the Mainland, which made her career positioned between 'a rock and a hard place'. She had no choice but to study again, hoping to engage in lawyer work in Macao. But for various reasons, including her degree, she could only work as an assistant, or clerical and other similar positions at the firm.

What brought about a change in her career was the implementation of the Mainland / Macao Closer Economic Partnership Arrangement (CEPA) in 2004, At the same time with the mainland lawyer qualification and Macao law studies, she instantly became relevant to both regions in a unique and special way.
