Overview
About Me
I am from Taiwan. Born and raised in Taipei, the capital of Taiwan. I studied for a bachelor's and master's degree in Changhua, in central of Taiwan. If time permits, I would like to accompany you on a trip to central Taiwan.
I majored in Chinese language and Taiwanese literature when I was a student. If you want to learn Mandarin or learn more about Taiwanese culture, I will be happy to pass on my expertise to you. I am also very interested in Japanese culture and admire the Japanese people's ability to develop ordinary things around them into many professional studies, such as taking a train in Japan. And Doraemon is my favorite character. Based on my love of Japanese culture, I originally wanted to learn Japanese, but there are many people who can speak Japanese in Taiwan, so I learned Korean to show my uniqueness.I have studied Korean since April 8, 2016 and studied at University of Seoul in 2019. I have visited Seoul, Busan, Incheon, Daegu, Daejeon, Gwangju, Ulsan, Jeju etc. Nevertheless, based on my love for Japanese culture, I will also study Japanese from February 20, 2023.I think Japanese is more difficult than Korean, and I am still trying to learn it.
I have good writing skills, worked in the news media industry, mainly responsible for editing current affairs news commentaries. Now I’m a junior high school Mandarin teacher. My school is in a rural area in northernmost of Taiwan Island, so I stay in the school dorm on weekdays and only go home on weekends. Although I don't have time on weekdays, but I can rest on Fridays night, Saturdays and Sundays, so I can freely use my time on weekends and enjoy the autonomy of time.
I like to see people around me happy together, and my friends and relatives think I'm very good at taking care of people!But my English skills are not very good, probably because Taiwan's English education focuses on reading and writing, so I rarely have the opportunity to have conversational experience, but I can do my best to express what I want to say.
Nice to meet you!I hope we can make friends.

Music, Movies, and Books
In addition to Mandarin pop songs, I also like Japanese music, especially Yuri’s “Leo”, Yonezu Kenshi's “Lemon”. These two songs sound sensuous, I think I can calm my mind. I also like listening to K-pop, Korea music is really good, there are many songs are very good, but if ask me “Which one is my favorite?”, I will say AKMU's "Last Goodbye" and N.Flying's "Rooftop", these two songs not only have feelings, but also remind me of the good memories of my life in Korea.
My favorite books are “Lonely Castle in the Mirror” by Japanese novelist Tsujimura Mizuki and “13•67” by Hong Kong novelist Chan Ho-kei, both of which are wonderful and warm to read.
My favorite movie is “Mal-Mo-E: The Secret Mission”. I appreciate Korean's determination and courage to preserve his words, and I understand Korea better in modern history.
