According to purposive sampling method, six participants were invited to tell their Yuan-related stories. Their stories were then analyzed using a category-content analysis in narrative research method. The results were as follows. 1. There are eleven characteristics of Yuan and they can be classified into three main categories, which can be entitled as “Yuan as changing”, “Yuan as connecting” and “Yuan as matching”. “Yuan as changing” indicates two characteristics of Yuan. First, Yuan as uncertainty, it cannot be controlled or predicted; Second, Yuan is very complex in its’ nature, it always has a personal meaning for the research participant. “Yuan as connecting” indicates six characteristics of Yuan. First, Yuan can make sense of the causal relationship between seemingly unrelated things in the participant’s career path. Second, Yuan happens again and again, which helps the participant to adjust accordingly to the new environment and to stabilize their career development. Third, Yuan can guide participants via different events to become themselves. Fourth, Yuan can directly or indirectly promote the participant’s career development. Fifth, Yuan can enlighten participants. Sixth, Yuan happens at the right time and always has a significant influence on the participant. “Yuan as matching” indicates three characteristics of Yuan.
