About Me

I am an independent filmmaker, writer-director from Beijing, China. I'm a BA Law graduate of Tsinghua University and MA Film Directing graduate of Prague Film School.

I was a lawyer in China and in the Netherlands. But in 2015 I decided to switch my career to filmmaking. I love film, of course. And I enjoy talking about film, art, food, traveling and basically everything. I travel extensively during the past 10 years and this 2023, I'll be in the US from August, Poland in October. I love being surrounded by people with various ideologies, and I'm very interested in people and their experiences.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I don't always have a budget for hotels or Airbnb when I'm abroad, and I love meeting people from the places I go. So why not give it a try? I'm still quite new to this. I am a clean and tidy person, and I only have one suitcase that I carry. I respect other people's privacy as much as I respect mine.

If you're interested in filmmaking (or being a lawyer haha), I can also share my experience with you! I'm sure we will have a great time. And maybe, you will end up in my next film as a character (I write from my real life experience)...
