Hi, I'm Justin, and in Mandarin, I'm known as Niu Qun(牛群). I'm originated from Anyang city, Henan Province, China, and I moved to the States in 2014 for my master degree. I'm fond of learning new languages. Currently, I'm working on my German. I'm a intermediate in Cantonese, and also perfect my English in the mean time. Travelling is one of my biggest passion. One of my giant dream is to travel to all the beautiful sites all over the world, since it costs a lot of money. That's also why I'm working so hard to fulfill it now! I like meeting off new people and getting to know them through delightful conversation. While I am still in university, I work as a private translator in town as my part-time job, I probably won't be a translator in the future, but it's absolutely an awesome job to have, you gotta know a lot people from different backgrounds, countries. Sharing different ideas with them can be terrific. When you see how your translation works for them, everything becomes worthwhile. It's awesome when strangers can become friends. In my spare time, I like getting together with my friends, having dinner or party.

PHILOSOPHY

1. What doesn't kill you makes you stronger.

2. Fear can hold you prisoner, hope can set you free. A strong man can save himself, a great man can save another.

3. Your problem is how you are going to spend this one and precious life you have been issued. Whether you are going to spend it trying to look good and creating illusion that you have power over circumstances, or whether you are going to taste it, enjoy it.
