Overview
About Me
CURRENT MISSION
I return young, I hope earnestly to start on.
ABOUT ME
Currently living in Austin for grad school. Previously worked in a non-profit organization in Shanghai.
I have a very simple principle of life. Grown up in the beautiful town of Mount. Emei, being close to nature makes me feel thrilled. I payed several visits to the ethnic minorites in southwest China which makes the great Shangrila area a second homeland of me.
I could be crazy and wild when I'm ignited, but basically I'm quiet as the first impression. My dream is to travel through strange places and maybe found my own social entreprise to help people in the underprivileged groups.
I'm not a total hopeless idealist. My short work experience makes me understand that sometimes money helps. :)
PHILOSOPHY
Be earnest, be passionate, be happy.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
Compared with those experienced CSers, the things I did are not really amazing. As well as travelling alone in southwest Asia, chased by 5 wild dogs in Cambodia, robbed in Hanoi with all ID cards and credit cards, and declined a love confession from a drunk headmaster in a remote villege in southwest China. o(╯□╰)o
