I was born in Kunming, the “City of Eternal Spring” (春城), and moved to the UK during high school. I spent over twelve years in the UK, studying and living in Sheffield, Coventry, and Edinburgh. I now live in Fangshan, Beijing, where BIT’s Liangxiang Campus is located, and I genuinely enjoy my life here.
Some of my basic information can be found below.
