About Me

ABOUT ME

I am a university graduate from CUHK, currently a master student of East Asian studies. I had a working holiday in Berlin learning German last year and now doing my master in Duisburg, at the same time travelling around to widen my imagination of a city, in order to equip myself for devoting into community work in Hong Kong in the future. I have been visiting the homeless for 3 years and observing the hidden but serious poverty in Hong Kong, which has the highest gini coefficient in the world.

I am very talkative and friendly, love to know about the truth that the world appeared to each person.

Interests

Judo / cooking / politics / movies/ music

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

If you are interested in culture, extreme capitalism and in Hong Kong, i would like to tell a lot of stories to you, really, A LOT.

-I love garlic
-i was arrested twice during the Umbrella Movement fighting for democracy in Hong Kong and i am proud of it.
-I sleep with the homeless once a week in hk
-I spent one night on the street with a Romanian thief in Amsterdam
-I was half naked in a forest outside Moscow under -18℃ (for several second)
-I was kept tipsy for 3 whole days in Belgium
-I (was so stupid that) challenged a bunch of Polish on drinking vodka and got totally wasted, finding several funny photos and videos in my phone the next morning
-I only smoke in Ukraine.
-I was able to (mentally) communicate with 2 Ukrainian who knows nothing about English and played UNO after weed and beer
-I took part in the carnival parade team with the local in germany and tossed candies at the children to shut them up
-I was so close to be left at the boarder of Belarus at 0200am under -20℃
-I didn't speak a word about 1 month.
-I hitchhike from Berlin to China (about 6350km) there are too much stories about to tell, and found out that actually I mostly don't need money for travelling as long as I giving out my photos.
-I once was grabbed by 8 huge, drunk and half-naked Russian guys speaking no english for a random vodka party by the road. I was first scared but turned out i really enjoyed that.
-I hitichhiked an car transporting armed Russian soldiers. I first thought it was a bus and found out it was not once i got on board n saw soldiers holding guns looking at me.
-I climbed a glacier alone (from 3200m climbing to 4000m), it was (extremely) dangerous but sure a lifetime memory.
-I hitchhiked a driver who speaks no english and i speak no russian in Kazakhstan. We could not speak a full sentence to each other but it turns out we crossed nearly the whole Kazakhstan in 4 days. We didnt took shower. He sold his car after 2000km and we hitchhiked for the rest 800km together.
-I hitch hike from Germany to the northeast point in Europe, Nordkapp Norway.
-For the last 32km I walked to Nordkapp as the weather was too bad and no cars were going. I walked over 12 hours in the dark and quite a number of snowstorms, in which I could see only white and nothing 3m away from me. When I was almost physically and mentally broken under heavy snow, I realized I am about to reach the last step of the continent. Then the sky cleared out and I saw the most beautiful northern light in the world. I nearly burster to tears.
-I REALLY love garlic.
