About Me
ABOUT ME
An easy-going person, travelling enthusiast, optimistic and warm-hearted. (OK, I've got to admit that it's kinda weird to say stuff like that about myself. I just believe in God, love beautiful and inspiring things in life, and am willing to make new friends and gain memorable experiences.) You'll find out when we meet, I'd love to experience different cultures and be your little help to know about Chinese culture and modern China:)
PHILOSOPHY
"There is only one success - to be able to spend your life in your own way, and not to give others absurd maddening claims upon it." By Christopher Morley, Where the Blue Begins, 1922

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
I was volunteering at migrant schools both in Beijing and Shanghai. I went on weekends to teach migrant children English and Chinese, and some other courses and play with them. This is the experience that I'll never forget.
When I traveled to Hulunbuir for the first time, I didn't know I would end up with making so many friends there, for whom I returned the following year, and will go back for the third time at the end of this year. It feels like I have a home on the world's most beautiful grassland - Hulunbuir.
OK, there're so many moments that have left me awestruck, most of them are during travelling. How about being followed by a wild wolf? Or we came across an amazing rainbow after two flat tires? Or one thunder night in a Nomads black tent where we got waken up in the mid-night by leakings? Haha, I just love those moments:)
