Hu Lichang, an athlete born in 2005 from Jinyun county in Lishui, Zhejiang province, helped Shanghai Jiao Tong University claim the Asian University Basketball League (AUBL) title.

As a key starter for his university team, Hu has built an impressive resume, participating in the 2024 Malaysia International Invitational Championship and the 2026 Chinese University Basketball Association League (CUBAL) Southeast Region title, while making an AUBL quarterfinal appearance in 2025 before securing this year's crown.

Despite his already impressive achievements, Hu remains focused on improvement, viewing the championship not as an endpoint but as the beginning of a new challenge. He plans to refine his skills and compete at higher levels, while expressing gratitude to his team.
