Overview
About Me
born and bred in China,
philosophy and literature lover,
fascinating singer,
frequent traveler,
had an exchange semester in Germany in 2012,
from then on,
I love Europe from its nuance.
AND I hope to go to US one day.
master student in Paris,
once lived in Toulouse.
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
I like meeting with different people and culture,
sharing wonderful stories worldwide,
which form a part of my inspiration.
Also, I want to dispel some misleading ideas of China for outsiders and show them a country not perfect but real&beautiful.
Basically Couchsurfing is still new to Chinese.
Though I now live and study in France, I will come back to China every summer holiday to visit my family. So I will have the time then to show foreign friends around my hometown( Fuping, Weinan, Xi'an) even other provinces in China if
possible as I myself still have a lot to explore in my country.
Interests
literature and politics.
I have read most of Western classics from early on( though in Chinese version), therefore I am almost self-cultivated to be the type of person who have the incurable romantic imagination of Europe even when I recognize the reality is not as good as expected.O(∩_∩)O
China is experiencing both the economic and political reform now, I have always had the realistic ambition to bring out my talents and efforts for the development of my country.I had a bachelor in economics in Beijing, now the "gap" year in Toulouse, then a master on International economic policy in Sciences Po, I hope I am on the good route pursuing my dream.O(∩_∩)O
My idea for politics is that, even if you don't like it, it will come to your life and influence you. AND good politics can really bring positive and profound changes to society.

Music, Movies, and Books
Music: Chinese singers, 王菲,华晨宇,李荣浩,潘玮柏,黄丽玲,彭佳慧...you can skip these Chinese characters.
I love listening to all kinds of music, esp. hard metal rock. Maybe as a traditional and conservative Chinese girl, I find rock unleash some kind of hidden emotion upon myself.O(∩_∩)O
Movies: Before Sunrise, Beyond borders, Gone girl, American beauty,
Black coal Thin Ice( it's a Chinese one),...I think I have watched each and every Hollywood blockbuster though my French friend told me they are of bad taste...
Books: Chinese classic literature( I do hope there will be good translation for these masterpieces, I am not satisfied with the existent translated version at all. The beauty of Chinese is lost during the process of translation), Gone with the wind, The Gadfly,Anna Karenina...
One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
Actually,there were a lot of wonderful things which I have experienced...
But if only one thing can be counted as amazing,
I think it is to fall in love at first sight with a boy I met when I came to Paris. We are in love ever since. He is the one who makes me think that there must be a God because he understands me so well, even better than myself...it must be a gift from destiny!O(∩_∩)O Yes, I think my real life stories are more fascinating than every romantic novels I read.

What I Can Share with Hosts
I have brought many Chinese traditional gifts when I came to France.
I have sent some to my friends here in France.
And I still have many, I hope the small gift can be the symbol of friendship and kindness.
