  • Welcome to Prof.U’s Study

    Welcome. Yes, you read that right. This is the private study of Professor Unserious. You might be thinking: “Professor” and “Unserious”? Do those two words even belong together?

Meet Professor Unserious

Who is Professor Unserious?
He’s the “Cultural Decoder” behind Gag Dynasty: Chinese History with a Twist, but he also represents an attitude:
That rigorous academic research can (and should) be combined with an irreverent sense of humor.
His philosophy is: “History is too important to be boring, and too fascinating to be taken entirely seriously.”
He believes that learning should be both enlightening and entertaining. This study is a warm, Lofi space where knowledge is fun, factual, and always (a little) unorthodox.
