ABOUT ME

I think my friends would say I am kind, creative and with a flair for the flamboyant. A good friend with a passion for life, the universe and everything.

音乐、电影和书籍

I am very fond of electronic music, but I'm not picky on the genre as long as it sounds good.

At the moment I'm reading two books by Roger Penrose about the subtle and astoundingly beautiful relation between physics and consciousness.

The Emperor's New Mind :

In terms of film, I have a strong infatuation with Ron Fricke these days, and his eyewatering visual journeys through culture and nature on this magical little sphere we live on.

Here is a trailer of his most recent film, Samsara :

我做过的一件不可思议的事情

Having my journalism published and read on all the world's continents by more people that I will ever have the chance to meet my self. You could say that I have sent my words to meet people and places I will never have the time to see.

教，学，和分享

I read a lot and have very strong curiosity for understanding how the world around me ticks. There are few things that I appreciate more than gaining new knowledge and ideas about this gigantic playground that we have been given to explore

"To see the world in a grain of sand, and heaven in a wild flower. Hold infinity in the palm of your hand and experience eternity in an hour."

William Blake
