Hello, I am a student from Shandong Province, China. I am not studying at the moment. I will enter Oxford University in October 2024. I am a native of Jinan, Shandong Province and a native of northern China. If I have to sum up my personality, I think it should be warm, cheerful and honest. Although I have not received foreign friends on this platform, I have received students and friends from more than 10 provinces in China to visit my hometown Jinan, Shandong Province, which can be regarded as a lot of hospitality experience. So as a tourist, I will also respect and understand your family rules and living habits. I hope we can agree to disagree.

It takes a lot of trust to invite a stranger from a foreign country to your home on the Internet. I can assure you that I will communicate with you in a sincere and honest manner. I hope we can become friends.

你好，我是一名来自中国山东省的学生。我目前不在上学，我即将在 2024年 10 月入读英国牛津大学。我是一名土生土长的山东济南人，属于中国北方人。如果要概括我的性格的话，我认为应该是热情、开朗、坦诚。虽然目前我没有在这个平台上接待过外国朋友，但是我接待过来自中国十多个省份的同学和朋友来我的家乡山东济南做客，也算是有很多待客经验。所以作为一名游客，我也会尊重理解您的家庭规则和生活习惯。希望我们能求同存异。

在互联网上邀请异国他乡的陌生人来到自己家中做客需要极大的信任，我可以保证我会以真诚、坦诚的态度和您沟通，希望我们能成为朋友～

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I hope to seize the spare time of university study to complete a trip around the world, save some travel expenses, and also hope to make friends around the world through the CS platform.

After graduating from college, I may go to work directly, and there will certainly not be enough time and financial conditions to support me to explore the world. Also, I think we get a very different feeling when we see the world at 20 than when we see the world at 25. However, at the same time, I am also a student, so I also want to have the opportunity to save money when I travel.

Traveling alone or with a companion will make us observe and understand the city from the perspective of tourists all the time, which I think is inappropriate. I've always loved going to the streets of every city to talk to the locals, and I've always been interested in how people live around the world, so when I saw that CS offered such a great resource for couchsurfing, I decided to join the platform.

我希望抓住大学学习的空余时间完成环游世界的旅行，节省一定的旅行开支，也希望通过 CS 平台在全球各地广交朋友。

大学毕业之后我或许会直接参加工作，到那时必定没有足够的时间和经济条件支持我探索世界。而且，我认为在 20 岁的时候看世界和在 25 岁的时候看世界，我们会获得很不同的感受。但是，与此同时，我也是一名学生，所以也希望旅行时能有机会节省一下开支。

独自旅游或者和同伴旅游会让我们一直用一种游客的角度去观察和理解这个城市，我认为这是不合适的。我总是喜欢到每个城市的小街小巷里和当地人攀谈，我也一直对世界各地人们的生活方式充满兴趣，所以当我看到 CS 平台提供了如此优质的沙发客资源时，我决定加入这个平台。

Music, Movies, and Books

Music:
Before high school, I liked European and American pop music and electronic music, but after high school, I gradually became interested in Mandarin pop and Mandarin rock songs. Favorite singers are: Ed Sheeran, Taylor Swift, MJ, Bellie Eilish, David Tao, Jay Chou, Wang Leehom.

Movies:
I was a Marvel fan when I was a kid, but I haven't watched it since Avengers: Endgames. But I still like other Disney movies, like Zootopia, Coco, and so on. I prefer films directed by Christopher Nolan, such as Interstellar and Oppenhimor.

Books:
To tell you the truth, I don't like reading very much, unless there is a strong interest in it. For example, I prefer biographies like Walter Isaacson's Steve Jobs and science fiction books like The Martian. In addition, although my reading is not small, most of them are Lecture notes and papers.

音乐：
在上高中之前我比较喜欢欧美流行乐曲以及电子音乐，但是上高中之后我慢慢对国语流行、国语摇滚歌曲产生兴趣。比较喜欢的歌手有：Ed Sheeran, Taylor Swift, MJ, Bellie Eilish, 陶喆 David Tao, 周杰伦 Jay Chou, 王力宏 Wang Leehom.

电影：
小时候是漫威的粉丝，但是追到复仇者联盟 4(Avengers: Endgames)之后就没再看过了。不过我仍然很喜欢迪士尼的其他电影，比如疯狂动物城(Zootopia)，寻梦环游记(Coco)之类的。我比较喜欢诺兰(Christopher Nolan)导演的作品，比如星际穿越(Interstellar)， 奥本海默(Oppenhimor).

书籍：
实话讲我不是很喜欢看书，除非有强大的兴趣使然。比如我比较喜欢爱萨克森(Walter Isaacson)的乔布斯传(Steve Jobs)这类传记书籍以及火星救援(The Martian)之类的科幻书籍。除此之外，虽然我的阅读量也不小，但是绝大多数都是Lecture notes 和论文了。

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

The best thing that has happened to me now is, of course, the offer from Oxford University. But I think what is even better is that during the three years when I applied for college, I developed many hobbies such as traveling, playing games, making videos, doing development and so on. The most impressive thing about these two years is that I have been able to control myself to do what I want to do with relative ease. Because I need to take care of my studies and hobbies at the same time, I really need to manage my time and manager properly. After all, I am still in the process of growing up, and these progress really make me satisfied.

对于现在的我来说，最棒的事情当然是收到了牛津大学的 offer 。但是我觉得更棒的是，在我申请大学期间的三年时间，我开发了很多比如旅游、玩游戏、拍视频、做开发之类的爱好。这两年让我感触最深的事情是，我已经能相对轻松地控制自己做好想做的事情了。因为同时兼顾好学业和这些爱好，真的非常需要合理掌握时间和经理，毕竟我还是在成长的过程当中，这些进步确实非常让我自己满意。
