About Me

CURRENT MISSION

reform the Chinese education system

ABOUT ME

Who am I? It's a big question.
Well, I'm an easygoing girl first of all. When I was in China, I was so eager to broaden my horizen by reading, travelling and talking with other people. Now, I'm studying in Paris 1 University, the western students in my programme say that I'm not typical Chinese. In their points of view, Chinese students are always timid and reserved. Well, nothing fits stereotype and my outgoing may be due to my broad interest and self-confidence.

Someone says I'm rational and self-disciplined. Well, That's may be sometimes why I'm a little serious. Being responsible seems my axiom of life. Once taking charge of something, I would insure every step go on well till the last. So, my friends trust me and feel willing work with me.

Someone says I don't feel lost as some young people do. Well, I appreciate a clear goal in my life. I know what type of person I am and what job I fit. That's the source of every day energy and inspiration.

Besides, I like literature, film and economy.

PHILOSOPHY

It's a good colomn! I think I should live orderly and healthily. I've past the age that fancy some unrealistic and ideal things. It the time to be down-to-earth and go for what you really fit. I cherish time and regard it as the gift of my life which should be made best use of.
I pay great emphasis on family and tranquill mind state. I think a respectable mind and characteristic doesn't need wealth to decerate. It's the charm that you make realised what you go for. Whatever your goal is only if it's worthy pursuing according to yourself.
I'm hard working. I'm non better than the other but different.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I was introduced to CS by Alper. Then, the interest was reinforced by my energetic and lovely French teacher who did coachsurf when young. I think the essence of participating in CS is to be open-minded and trustworthy. Besides, It'a platform to know friends all over the world. Isn't it?

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I never did coachsurfing before. Frankly, I'm a little anxious. In China, I did travalling through agencies because in China, we don't have mature packed-travelling system. Here, in Europe, I went to trip with friends and stayed in Hostel. It's a big step forward to be independent and open-minded.

Interests

Film, I watched film not only for fun but also for deep observation for life and thinking. Sometimes, I wrote critiques.
literature, I love reading, different kinds, novel, scientifique reading, history and BD.
Economy, It's my major. especially, behavior economics.
