CURRENT MISSION

Six impossible things before breakfast

ABOUT ME

An outdoor enthusiast, I am a quite simple-minded person easily content with what is in front of me, and behind me. I am very friendly if not extremely outgoing:) Oh, I started to be a vegetarian since Nov. 2014.

I like nature and I spend most of my spare time hiking, running, and walking randomly.

When I stay indoor,I might be practicing calligraphy, writing, or reading, or maybe cooking.

PHILOSOPHY

Look around you. No, really. Look around. Look at the room you are in. Look at the paint on the walls, the lights above you.Are you in a chair? Are you holding a book? Are you outside? Are there buildings nearby? What road did you travel to get to where you are?

You are wearing clothes. You have a watch. You have a wallet. You have some money. You have keys---keys to a room, to a house. You have a telephone. You have eaten today, you must eat later. You are in a country. It has a government. you are studying. You are in a school. You have a job. You have dreams.

Music, Movies, and Books

I don't really have a good taste for music. Electronic, listen to more and more Jazz because people around me seem all so into this .One of the greatest things about CS is that it helps me discover the things that I have long ignored in my own city. I admire the underground culture especially a group of indie music bands in Xi'an.
documentary, romance, independent movie, not that into science fiction or horrors or vampires But……
I like non-fictions. As for now, Susan Orlean, George Orwell is my favorite.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

i was once given a lift when i was walking so hopelessly under the burning sun by a migrant worker and again when i was walking soaked all over in the rain by a kind man with a motorcycle.(yes sometimes i have to go to places where buses or texies seldom reach)

Overnight hiking in Hong Kong;
Overnight marathon in Singapore.
