ABOUT ME

Hi. My name is Jiayi. I am from China. In general, I am an out-going and open-minded person. I grew up in Chengdu, the capital city of Sichuan province. The city is to China as Spain is to Europe. People relax and enjoy their lives. I guess that is where I got my personality from. I always like to experience new things in my life and have fun.

PHILOSOPHY

Music, Movies, and Books

I love movies. It is really hard to say which one is my favorite. However, I will list a few."Legends of the fall", " Edward Scissorhands", "Avantar", "King Kong".
I love music as well. My dad used to be a DJ and now he has his own band and plays trombone. I used to learn a bit piano and jazz drum.
I like reading. Chinese books and English books as well. My favorite book is called "The secret life of water" and it showed me how important it is to believe in yourself and others.
