About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Looking for inspirations

ABOUT ME

"Read tens of thousands of books and walk tens of thousands of miles" - Chinese proverbs. I started walking my miles when I went to Yunnan and Tibet for my college graduation trip in the summer of 2009. Then I worked for a year. After saved up some money, I visited the US for two month in the summer of 2010. After that, I did one year of working holiday in New Zealand. Then I went back to school to read books. After a year's of studying of becoming a high school teacher, I moved to the beautiful Far north to teach high school kids. I'm quiet easy-going. Looking forward to meet some really cool people and make some new friends!:)

PHILOSOPHY

I read it somewhere how important it is in life not necessarily to be strong, but to feel strong, to at least measure yourself once.

Go hard or go home
