As to why she won the award, those who nominated her say she has many qualities including her willingness to help other people and her natural ability as a leader. When doing group work many looked to her for help and advice and Fang Wei was is always happy to support fellow students.

She also organises lots of social activities for classmates which go down exceptionally well!
