About Me

ABOUT ME

I originally came from Shandong province, the hometown of Confucius, and have been living in Shanghai for almost 10 years. And I have been a member of CS for over 12 years!!!! I really met some amazing true friends!!!!

I worked in PR and MKT industry, used to work for Edelman and Publicis Groupe. So you can guess, I am quite creative in life. I am crazy about exploring every new way to live.

I have been to the US for 6 times, Japan for 6 times, Thailand for 5 times, Philippines for 5 times, Italy for twice and many other countries (Canada, South Korea, Denmark, Germany, France, Vietnam, Indonesia, Cambodia, India) once.

I love driving! I once ride a tuktuk motorbike from the south of India to the very north in 12 days. And I drive along Route 66 with my friends too! Also, I drive from France to Italy too.

I love Outdoors such as snow skiing, surfing and diving.
