Music, Movies, and Books

My favorite Movie is a German movie named "Das Leben der Anderen"!!!
(The English translation:The Lives of Others)
It's definitely a masterpiece and I've watched it several times!
My favorite band is "Imagine Dragons".Their music is truly amazing!
And my favorite novel is "Call me by your name" I've never read such a novel which is filled with so delicate emotional description.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I major in sociology and also worked for Academia Sinica (the central research institution in Taiwan) where I collected and analyzed the social movements in Taiwan, so it's my pleasure to share what I've learned from the University and my job. Besides, I've worked for a non-profit organization named "Dr. Chen Wen-chen Memorial Foundation" as volunteer for 4 years. The goal of this foundation is committed to promoting the issue about transitional justice and human rights, so I'm also glad to share the history and experiences how Taiwanese face and what our foundation has done for pushing those issues. Moreover, because I am an exchange in Germany now, I could share my observations and feelings about Germany.
