About Me

In my country , there is a idiom -- the more you read, the more travel you should go for. I do believe real life is most worthy lecture.

Life philosophy
an interesting calculation about life...
if we assume:
past+present+future=life,
present+past=memory
future- present= dream
then:
life is memory and dream working on nowaday and bring surprise to life.

So who I am?
I am Chinese, haha, in nationality classification
I am a food fun, bsc country benefit, lots of tasty food, couldn't stop to taste all
I am idea producer, interesting idea to make people laugh
I am short, but I would say thinking about concentrated juice, small package maybe as same size as largest bottle. haha, high five with short people are more convenient and thanks for tall people always make me jump to achieve my goal.

Keep in mind...this is part of me, who I am is a tough question to answer, It probably will take my whole life to find out answer. However maybe it is not necessary to realize it, as long as i am happy to be myself and enjoy my life.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I am more and more keen on to learn new languages and looking forward to making friends during travelling.

The amazing things is CS brings surprise to home, open-minded, optimistic people always brings positive power to my life. They have different life story and life wisdom. I used to joke myself that I am the person has been locked in cage for ages, but CS is somehow like a mobile global map. traveller are moving, life are moving, even though for some reason people will more or less settle down at one place.

CS refresh my life. people's ideas and experiences inspire each other. This is why when we say "independent"...we couldn't ignore that "dependent" is the basis of this word...we are just relative individual, we need mutual help and being story teller and listener at same time.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

To be continue

Teach, Learn, Share

Chinese, definitely, I am a bit shameful to say that, but this probably is one of my strength, haha because of the country I was born.

I am learning how to breaking barrier of culture...

I create a "cage theory"...people geographically are locked although their mind is somehow out of cage...but how to interact more with people, how to getting to know more information out of region, out of country, out of Union.

Hmmm sometimes, I am wondering whether the fact I know from news or internet is true...maybe there is nothing absolute right or wrong, they all depends on which side we tend to believe...thus I would like to share my opinion for a range of issue and extremely happy to hear different voice.
