Currently doing a master’s degree in Global Affairs at the University of Toronto.

I was born and raised in the southern city of Nanchang, Jiangxi province,the revolutionary base where Mao Zedong started his odyssey of founding a new republic. Before moving to Toronto, I worked in China as a journalist for seven years.

Personality wise, I would say I am friendly, polite and empathetic. I curious and am eager to learn more about the world. I enjoy good conversations about politics, international relations and cultural differences.

I’ve met some amazing people via Couchsurfing since I joined the site in 2011. I might be able to host starting from Sept, 2019. But if you enjoy meeting new people and conversations, feel free to reach out! Always happy to grab a coffee.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I surf because this is a great way to mingle with locals when travelling . I host because I believe there are always things my guests can teach me.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

- I discovered my ability of playing the piano by ear when I was five.
- I won the championship of our school's singing competition.
- Told I was the first Chinese to spot a wrongly written Chinese character at the 911 memorial museum in New York.
- I wrote an article in March 2015 that ended up being plagiarized by the Guardian. The Guardian later issued an apology. http://globalvoicesonline.org/2015/03/05/another-big-media-outlet-plagiarizes-a-global-voices-story-whats-the-fix/
