Born and Raised in China, moved to Chicago at 16 years old in 2007. Graduated from Columbia College Chicago with a Bachelor degrees in Broadcast Journalism.
Have been reporting for Chinese news media for 9 years, and have interviewed many well-known celebrities, such as Daniel Craig, Ian Somerhalder, Eddie Redmayne, Viola Davis, Patrick Stewart, John Legend, Hailee Steinfeld, Oliver Stone, Buddy Guy, etc,
In addition, I have been also producing several TV shows for American audience as well.
I have been doing intense traveling since earlier 2017, of course, I go back to China almost every year, or every 2 years. Not considered as a World traveler yet, but definitely working on it! :) I have been traveling internationally a little bit so far, such as in Germany, France, Philippines, Austria, Mexico, Cuba, Indonesia, etc. Now I started a lot of domestic travels within the America because of my work as an auto product specialist for different auto shows.
