PHILOSOPHY

The earth looks very huge but there are roads to connect from one living place of people to the other. What we need is only a pair of legs then we can reach the corner or edge of the world from east to west, it is not that far anymore. Even people are living very close to each other but there are still too many disasters and wars in this 21st Century and caused many people die because of losing their home and shortage of food. I do not have money to help them but I have love. Money is practical help for physically needs but love is more important. I have decided the method of walking or cycling, to tell people about the importance of love and I wish my action will inspire the wealthy people to donate for those who need help.

Music, Movies, and Books

I love to listen Jazz, R&B and specifically classical music because you can say I'm a classical ballet dancer. The Violin Concerto in D major, Op. 35, written by Tchaikovsky is my favorites.

I'm a journalist and columnist in Hong Kong. I love to read books specifically classical books.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I was walking from Hong Kong to London from 5 Oct 2013 - 3 Oct 2014 and after that, I had a supper with Duke and Duchess of York, Prince Andrew's family.

I was spent one year for walk from Hong Kong to London as a charity to collect donation for United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR). Meanwhile I hope to spread the concept of great unity to all places I reach. I am glad to have received support from UNHCR to make this happen.
