Henry Chen

Where were you born and where did you grow up? Where do you live now?

I was born and grew up in Jieyang, a small city located in the Chaoshan Area of Guangdong, in southern China.
After finished my previous job in Tencent, I moved from Shenzhen back to my hometown. Compared to the fast-paced environment of Shenzhen, Jieyang appears more comfortable and laid-back.


Did you attend university, and if so, what did you study?

I attended Shantou University from 2012 to 2016. It is a stunning university, renowned for having one of the most beautiful libraries in China. I was fond of it and often chose to study there.


What’s your favorite way to spend a day off?

I like to begin my day by enjoying a nutritious breakfast accompanied by a refreshing glass of orange juice. Afterwards, I find pleasure in diving into a captivating book or strumming the guitar, playing a beautiful melody. Later on, I engage in physical activities, whether it's playing sports alongside my close friend or spending quality time with my family.

What type of music do you like to listen to?

Classical music has a remarkable ability to bring about a sense of calmness and relaxation within me.

What was the best vacation you ever took and why?

I have fond memories of the trip to Thailand with my university friends, including the exhilarating water fight we had in the villa, the pristine white beach next to the ocean, the vibrant fish I encountered while snorkelling, and the delicious Tom Yum soup that delighted my taste buds.

What are your hobbies, and how did you get into them?

Frisbee is an exciting sport that allows you to break a sweat, build strength, foster team spirit, and make new friends.

Climbing mountains is a wonderful way to exercise and connect with nature.


What activity instantly calms you?

Meditation proves to be the most effective method for calming myself down, and I consistently rely on it to facilitate faster sleep onset.
