About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Enjoy my graduation tour to Europe before this summer ends!

ABOUT ME

You can call me a DREAMER since:

A) I wanna be a part of the revolution runners of my generation in China's film industry(You have to know that the current Chinese growing movie market really sucks and lacks a soul for initiative creativity!!);

B) I want to find a way to express myself by combing writing and drawing together to touch other souls.(Btw,I've published some little works of mine.Maybe you can come and have a look some day and you persuade me I'd better become a movie-goer something~ ^^)

C) I'm planing to get ready for a humanitarian volunteering work around the world.(I know I'm not fully qualified yet, still need a lot to learn!)

D) I'm still on my way exploring the universe and myself, trying to find a place where there is a real peace for me.

Anyway,I'll try for my dreams~

Very nice to meet you:)

PHILOSOPHY

Life doesn't have to be perfect. To be wonderful!

Follow your heart,but take the mind with you.

Just stay open-minded, be creative, try more new experiences, and learn by exploring I guess:)

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Spending 5 days with the real Santa Claus from Finland as his interpreter. Really learned a ton about the original Christmas culture as well as some secrets about Mr.Santa which I shall never tell:P
I do miss the wonderful time with this special friend!

Another one would be surprising my friend with a huge HAPPY BIRTHDAY picture on the snowy playground at campus. It took a whole morning to prepare. Of course, I made her scream but not cry~

Having missed the flight to shanghai for Pride Festival volunteering, my friend and I stayed the whole night in the airport and caught another one the next morning!

Visiting Audrey Hepburn's tomb and house in the rain by sunset!

Teach, Learn, Share

Maybe I can share with you my Chinese calligraphy though I'm far from a master at this; and also I would like to turn our together-experienced momories into a painting or even a short if time permits;If you like Chinese culture, I'm sure we will have even more to share with each other :)

And I wanna learn anything from you who can help me see the world differently and more vividly by any means.
