About Me
ABOUT ME
I was born and have lived in Shanghai ever since. After I completed my undergraduate study in Shanghai University, majoring in Journalism and Communication, I continue to study abroad for a master degree in Cultural Studies of Katholieke Universiteit Leuven, Belgium. Due to that, I like photography and enjoy the different cultures from various countries. I love to make friends with people from all over the world.
PHILOSOPHY
To love yourself is the beginning of a lifelong romance.——Oscar Wilde
Interests
I have been cultivated some traditional Chinese arts like Chinese paintings and Chinese Calligraphy. I like black and white movies as I am a nostalgia person. Anything covering arts, music, fashion, culture or history catches my eyes.

Music, Movies, and Books
My favorite movie:"Before Sunrise", "Before Sunset" maybe they are not the most famous movies but they touch my heart.
My favorite music album:Soundtrack of "Buena Vista Social Club", Jazz music produced by some cuban musicians, even there are a lot of stories behind it.
My favorite book:"Legend" by Eileen Chang, a female Chinese writer. Her stories mainly happened in Shanghai in 1930s-1940s when Shanghai was called "the paradise of adventures", good time, good stories.
