About Me

I'm a Chinese girl traveling in Russia while teaching English. I think I'm kind and love to share with what I have. I volunteered in several online non-profit new media group and translation group. I believe knowledge, language and information open people's mind and may change their lives. I want to record what is happening around the world, understand the rules behind them and I want to write non-fictions.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Recently, I think my motto is "to know, to understand". Couchsurfing provides the opportunity to know local people, understand what their lives are.
"Her own limits were the limits of her horizon; but limited minds can recognize limitations only in others." -Jack London, "Martin Eden"

Music, Movies, and Books

I like folk music. I always find acoustic guitar attractive. My favorite singer and songwriter is Damien Rice. I find the lyrics he wrote accurate and beautiful.
My favorite movie is "Dancer in the Dark". That's also where my English name came from.
My favorite book is "Killing a mockingbird" by Harper Lee.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I once traveled and hiked three days in a remote mountain village in South-western China, visited the breathtakingly beautiful ice lake and enjoyed double rainbows in a early morning.

Teach, Learn, Share

If you want to learn Chinese language, I would be very happy to be the person you practice with. And if you want to know anything about China, I'm glad to answer.
I'm learning Russian and guitar now, if you are willing to share some tips, I'll be really happy.
