About Me

I have multiple interests, that includes movies, music, philosophy and politics.
I also like NBA and snooker very much, I am not bad in snooker.

I have an ambition to be a scholar, hoping to get a PhD before 35. Student life is the best thing. Hope to learn more about the stuff that I am interested, hope to learn more about different culture.

The world is so big, I am so little.
by the way, I am trying to learn Buddhist meditation. I am also interested in Yoga. Maybe someone can teach me here.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I just want to talk stuffs to foreign people. It helps me to understand different culture, struggle the people facing, happiness that people having, different philosophy behind people.

The hangout function is so good, I tried that twice when I am in Europe

Interests

I am interested in a lot of things. I watched snooker, nba. I love to play snooker. I learned how to play Erhu for 10 years, and know limited guitar.

I am always interested in films and music. Music in west Germany is so good, including Krautrock and electronic music. I enjoy Icelandic music, mainly the post-rock type, or neo-classical like Ólafur Arnalds.

Films are another world that I can dive into. Surrealist movies from Charlie Kaufman, Spike Jonze, Michel Gondry, romantic movie by Wong Kar Wai, story narration by Nolan and Fincher, balanced scene by Wes Anderson. Maybe even films of the French New wave, which I am eager to learn more

Last but not least, politics and policies. I am a student of this major. I always love to learn about your country politics and how it shaped your world. It is by far the most important thing I can think of. Parliament is like a universe that give birth to order and law which shape the country and the world. I am especially interested in protest and movement.
When there's great struggle, I always wonder what people will do and how the government reacts. I am pretty much a leftist.
