There are a lot of people called Yuchen Li — and a Chinese novel whose two protagonists’ names happen to combine into my Chinese name. So when I collected everything written about me across Chinese and English media, I applied one rule: a third-party item is only listed when its own text names Yuchen Li (or my Chinese name) together with an identity anchor — MBZUAI, KAUST, the SUSTech–KAUST 3+2 programme, SUSTech class of 2017, the 13th Heidelberg Laureate Forum, Dubai Business Associates, one of my handles (@Dr_Yuchen, @yuchenlichuck, “Dubai Prince” on rednote) or one of my papers. Each entry on the index shows the exact sentence that ties it to me.
