Where were you born and where did you grow up? Where do you live now?
I was born and grow up in Chengdu before 18, which is one of the most well-know city in the southwest of China. Chengdu is famous for not only panda, food, fashion, travelling, but also rapid development and lifestyle. Now I live in Guangzhou, which has many similarities to Chengdu, they both have old and new city district, and are represnetitives of a kind of Chinese cuisine.
Did you attend university, and if so, what did you study?
Yes, I had my bachelor degree in Shanghai University, and then got my master degree in Durham University in the UK. I studied International Economics in college, and Anthropology for my postgraduate program. Durham University is one of the places where Harry Potter was filmed.
Where’s the next place you plan to travel and why?
Tibet! I have travelled to Tibet for 3 times, but it's not enough. Everytime I went to Tibet, I found more places to go. Next time I plan to go to Motuo, which is the last town having road to connect to the outside world.
Would you say you’re more of an extrovert or an introvert?
I think I am more of an introvert.
What are your hobbies, and how did you get into them?
I like hiking and climbing, skiing, tennis, reading and travelling. I have climbed 4 snow mountains, and reached 3 summits of those 4. I love the experience in nature which make me feel relaxed and free. It's a coincidence. I never thought I would climb a snowmountain or hike for several days. Once, when I went to Siguniang Mountain, I met an interesting person and was taken on a hike for the first time. From then on, I couldn't stop it.
