Hi;) I’m chongyang from China. Studied astronomy in Wuhan University and then Tokyo University. Worked in Shanghai for one year. Retired and became homeless (2024.5)

2024.11: After 6 months traveling alone in Europe, hitchhiking, playing ukulele and sleeping on benches in parks, volunteering, making new best friends, getting discriminated, assaulted, robbed… I’m glad that I will stay in Baku for a few months, finally having my own place and don’t have to unpack, pack and keep moving everyday.

I know how disappointing it is when hosts never reply, reject without saying a word, set the barriers too high or say many unfriendly words in the profile. I’ve also encountered surfers and people from hangout whose intentions were sexual, financial.
Those hurt me because I always have a dream that one day everyone will be able to extend kindness to its fullest, within the limits of our physical reality. I don’t understand why one cannot.
I demand myself to be a qualified particle of that dream. As long as I can be kind, I should be kind, unconditionally. You may think I'm a hypocrite because you're gonna see me fail often. But if there’s one moment you glimpse that dream in me and find it beautiful, please help me to pass this dream on to more people.
That’s how I believe the world would start to change, definitely not by talking about grand abstract things🙄 We cannot stop any war, not even a single bullet. We cannot stop hatred, not even one person’s prejudice. But we can choose to be kind on soooo many things.

P.s. I have been to 30/34 provinces of China, more than half counties of Japan, and hitchhiked a lot (throughout China, Japan, Poland, Czech, UK). About these countries I guess I have a few stories to share
