About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Existing in Beijing. Writing a PhD. Navigating life the only way I know.

ABOUT ME

I'm just a guy living a life he loves. Writing a PhD at Oxford in the UK, and enjoying everything that comes along with that. I'm curious about the world and the societies that constitute it, and that's why I love to study it, through books, through words, through experiences. A traveller all my life, I couldn't imagine life any other way.

Interests

The eccentricities of the world.
Classic film.
Capitalism.
What makes someone get out of bed in the morning.
Sustainable lifestyles.

Teach, Learn, Share

God loves from Whole to Parts: but human soul
Must rise from Individual to the Whole.
Self-love but serves the virtuous to wake,
As the small pebble stirs the peaceful lake;
The center mov'd, a circle strait succeeds,
Another still, and still another spreads,
Friend, parent, neighbour, first it will embrace,
His country next, and next all human race....

Alexander Pope - "An Essay on Man"
