Overview
About Me
The world is big enough for all ways of living, and I endeavor to see the diversity of how a life could be lived and understood.
Me myself used to love to do a lot of stuff and try everything that is new. Yet with the passing of time, I realize that time is limited and I could only invest these time to a handful of things if I truly want to do them well.
By the age of 30, I have narrowed down my life interests into three things: martial art, guitar and motorbike road trip. I know they are enough to make me smile.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I have trained the in the elite Kungfu academy Shaolin for a month.
Teach, Learn, Share
I have spent my past few years doing research on the youth culture of China. I have met young immigrant workers trying to make a living in the big cities and spent days with them, and I also have entered the privileged lives of the second generation rich and rode race car with them.
I could tell you what's going on in China and what the youth are going through under the sweeping changes in the society. And I would love to know the stories of your country and the youth.
