About Me

CURRENT MISSION

I'm traveling in Japan for 2 weeks doing field research about sex education. I'm running a social enterprise about gender equality back in Shanghai and we produce stage plays about sex education topics.

I'd be very happy to meet anyone knows anything about topics related while I'm here.

ABOUT ME

I've been living in Shanghai for around 6 years.
My short term goal is to skillfully master 6 languages by 30 and to travel as much as I can.
My life time goal is to make a contribution to make this world a better one,even if there is really limited I can do within my ability.
I'm outgoing,friendly,willing to help and talkative(sometimes maybe too much that I can't stop myself especially after few drinks,that's why I don't drink normally...:P)
I'm fond of arts(music,painting,drawing,comics...),languages,psychology(I might take a master course of psychology when it's the right timing...). And of course I love traveling and making new friends. Any creativity of work is my favorite.(Can I have so many hobbies and favorites...?hahaaah)

PHILOSOPHY

We were born a child and we should live our lives as curious as a child.
It's never too late to learn and it's never too early to start learning.
People should like each other because what they are instead of what they have.

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

In China I had unbelievably amazing experience of couch surfing when hit on road for a tour with two Spanish guys. (We had a Chinese couch surfing website as well.)

Music, Movies, and Books

Movies: I love movies in general except for horror movies. (All right,I'm a coward when it comes to horror movies. > <)
Music: There are not certain categories of music I prefer. Most music is refreshing,surely there are bad music in any kind.
Books: I'm a typical bad student who read books that teachers wouldn't recommend. (Everything else but textbooks...)

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Done: I'm quite spontaneous and curious of the world. To my friends what I've been doing would be amazing but after sharing with other travelers of their experience,I guess I would have more things to do to call it amazing.
Seen: This amazing 3-people family that I stayed with while I'm in Yunnan,China. (2 year-old son and the young couple who met each other since 15,they have an artistic hostel now,they enjoy their life as hard as they work for it.)

Teach, Learn, Share

Teach: I've 2+ years experience of teaching mandarin professionally but Chinese is a complicated language with a long history of more than 3000 years,so to be able to teach requires much more continuous study and work.
Learn: my aiming languages(French,Spanish,German,Japanese)
Share: traveling experience,life stories,life philosophies
