CURRENT MISSION

Exploring the beauty of Paris.

ABOUT ME

A Chinese girl grew up in Guangzhou (Canton), a city in the southeast of China. I have been in France for around 4 years. During 4 years, I stayed in different cities: Clermont-Ferrand, Lille, Roanne and Paris. Each place has its characteristic. I appreciate this experience which helps me discover local life. I like France. It is also a place where I found my passions-dance and running. I am a member of Adidas Running Group. When I feel upset, dance and music are my therapist. I am addicted to language. Learning different language is my aim. Besides, I have a good sense of direction and remember everything easily except the name of actors, films and musics. So if you wanna tell me something about actors or singers. Plz show me a picture. Furthermore, I have been a lactovegetarian since 2016. I like tasting different food, especially cheese and dessert in France. I know how to make the Chinese traditional tea "Gongfu cha"since I was born in Shantou, where is famous for tea culture. My friends always tell me that I am a girl who brings positive energy to others and who is smiling. I enjoy talking with local people and share my experience with other people.

PHILOSOPHY

You should never give up no matter how hard the situation is, always believe that something beautiful is going happen!
Your happiness does not lie in the eyes of others but resides in your own heart.
Silence is a true friend who never betrays." - Confucius
Slow down and Don't rush through life
