And a little bit about me...


I enjoy critically reasoning and debating controversial topics. Topics that particularly interest me are education, China, technology, fitness and economics.

My Myers-Briggs Type Indicator(MBTI) is INFP [Introverted Intuitive Feeling Perceiving]. The favorite people I supposedly share my personality type with are C.S.Lewis, J.K. Rowling and William Shakespeare.

I occasionally would make creative videos using Adobe After Effects for my grilfriend as surprises; I also like using advanced skills on Adobe Photoshop to make touches on images.


I enjoy working out and making Chinese/American cuisines, sometimes I would make cakes and pastries from scratch. I also play piano and guitar.

I owns a cat named Pipi even though for my entire life I've identified myself as a dog person because I am a high energy person, but cats are more chill.

I enjoy drinking Coffee but it has to be the instant coffee and unlike most of the Americans, I do not find myself to be a fan of any types of Cereals.
