Your hobby
- Playing video game
I love to play video game. I do not consider video game as electronic drugs. Actually I believe it can improve my logical thinking and interactive ability because while playing, I have to thinking about the optimum plan to win the game or reach the checkpoint. What's more, I can also enjoy good music and fascinating story at the same time because many games have amazing soundtrack as well as narrative plot. Therefore, I love to play video games and appreciate them as a kind of artwork.
- Reading
I love reading. Because it enable me to explore a brand new world every time I read a new book. When I'm reading the book DISCWORLD written by Terry Pratchett, I can't stop imagining about the magic world the characters live in. That's the things that most enchant me-- I can experience life of others that are completely different from me. What's more, reading can also broaden my horizon, I can learn basic knowledge of many field through reading. This offer great help while I meet with new challenges in my own life. So...
A skill you want to learn
- Painting or drawing comic
If I ever have a chance to learn a new skill, I would like to learn how to draw comic or cartoon characters. I was obsessed with comic book and cartoons since I was a child. I particularly love to watch Japanese comic and cartoon and I have been learning how to draw the cartoon characters since primary school. But I know if I want to draw a more vivid character I would have to study the structure of human body and the division of light and shadow in a more systematic way. After that I wish I can draw my own comic story and share it with others. Therefore, I would like to have the skill of drawing cartoon characters.
The job or career of your future
- filmmaker
I want to be a filmmaker in my future. Actually I'm now striving for this goal. This thought came from a hard time of mine. I can still remember my hardship during high school. At the time, it's film that save me from desperate and release my pressure. The film of Stanley Kubrick are so critical and philosophical that aroused my reflection, while the films of Wes Anderson are so warm and delightful that heal me from my anxiety. From then on, I want to become a film director or screenplay writer who can always tells a story which can satisfy and comfort people.
Favorite song/painting/poem/book
- Song
My favorite song is a rock song of an Japanese rock bank call Mongol800, the name of the song is KAMISAMA which names the god in English. The theme of the song is anti-war, hoping humans can be sincere and honest to each other. The song has a special historic background since the band come from OKINAWA of Japan, where one of the worst battle of War World II happened. So the song teach us don't look back in anger but reflect our mistake and cherish today's peaceful world. And through this song I have learnt to stay calm and rational when the Nationalism rise. Therefore the song KAMISAMA is my favorite.
- Poem
My favorite poem is the poem in Macbeth written by SP. Because when I first heard this poem I was watching the film call Birdman. The script of Macbeth was spoke out from a drunkard when the hero of the film are falling in to desperate. I was amazed by the sadness and desperation conveyed by the script and the shots of the film. After that, when I direct my own short film with my friend, I also add that part of Macbeth scripts in my video to stress the misery tone of the plot. That's the first time I was enchanted by poem and it left great impression on me so it became my favorite poem.
- Book
My favorite book is The HitchHiker's Guide To the Galaxy written by Douglas Adams. The reason I love this book is the remarkable English humor inside the book which saved me from the anxiety and pressure of my high school study. I was always amused by those funny and imaginative description in the book. What's more, the book also taught me never to stop being curious and keeping on study. I used to hate physics and mathematic and considered them as useless knowledge but I changed my mind after I read this book. It taught me to respect knowledge and do not satisfy of being a fool. It's really an interesting and instructive book.
The importance of aesthetic ability
- The society today are looking for people with holistic ability, so the aesthetic ability is also very important.
- Cultivating aesthetic ability enable student to have the basic understanding of beauty and art and help with the way their observe and understand the world.
- Cultivating Aesthetic ability can broaden their horizon and release their pressure from their daily work.
Good qualities/characteristics
- Honesty
I believe honesty is a crucial quality of people. We should always attach great importance to honesty when we are making friends, looking for partner or falling in love with others. Because I personally believe that a healthy interrelationship between people must be based on trust. A lack of trust will result in a lack of security and finally lead to breaking up of a relationship. Therefore, if one in the relationship is dishonest, trust would be very hard to set up so the relationship can be very unhealthy and fragile. The true companion should always be frank and open to us. Thus I believe honesty is a crucial quality of people.
- Kind hearted
I personally consider kind hearted as a significant quality of friends. Because firstly, I don't want my friend to be a reluctant people who I can not tell whether he or she are really care about me. But the most important is the kind hearted of my friends may also inspire me to do something good. I remember when I was at junior high school. Me and my friend saw a lame girl sitting on the bridge across the road, begging for money. I felt sympathy for her but I was hesitating about giving money since she maybe a liar. But my friend gave out her money without hesitation since she believe it is the good will that really matter. Her belief deeply moved me and guided me through my life. Therefore...
- inclusive
The most crucial quality of a friend, I concerned, is inclusive. Because it's easy to see that nobody want a friend who can not stand your different opinion and always tell you what you should do. The respect and understand between friends make up the foundation of friendship. In order to achieve this you should first have a inclusive heart. I used to be a person who like to impulse my ideas and values on others, which made a friend of mine felt very uncomfortable and eventually decided to keep distance from me. Luckily he still told me the reason and gave me some advice. I gradually understood his saying and determined to correct myself. After I learnt this lesson I strongly believed that being inclusive is the most crucial quality of a friend.
Memorable event/celebration
- Something In Blue premiere
A memorable event that ever happened in my life must be the premiere of the movie Something In Blue in Beijing, 2016. Because it's the first time I witness a premiere of a movie and it's also the first movie about my beloved hometown--Canton. It was set up, shoot and produced in Canton. And all of the character speak Cantonese in the movie. On that big screen I can see those place I familiar with since I was a little kid. I almost burst into tears while watching because of homesick while watching the movie. After screening the director shown up and talked a lot about this movie. He is also a Cantonese. I could feel his passion and love for filmmaking and Canton during his introduction. I love the movie so much and this is the most memorable event in my life.
- Qingming Festival/the tomb-sweeping day
Qingming festival, which is also known as the tomb-sweeping day, is a very important event in China. We Chinese people attach great importance to our ancestor and our tradition ceremony of honoring them. On Qingming festival, we will go back to our hometown where our ancestor was buried and sweep the tomb for them. We will burn the incense in front of their gravestone and report our life to them. We believe that this may comfort their soul in heaven and we then ask for their bless. The significance of Qingming are not just about memorizing our ancestor but also reunite the family members and strengthen the relationship between the big family. We feel out heart being intimately connected and this may help us to overcome difficulties together during hardship. So the Qingming festival is a unique and important event for us.

Team
- Prefer team work or work alone?
For me, I prefer to work alone. There are mainly 3 reasons for my choice. The first is that when working alone, especially on a specific project, I'll be able to arrange my time freely since I don't need to fit with others' schedule. The second reason is that I'm a person who will stick to my own understand and conception towards the work or project and is more likely to make decision by myself. Working alone empower me more rights to make my own decision. Most importantly, working alone means I have to finish every aspect of the work on my own so through this process I may learn many new skills that I cannot learn in teamwork. Therefore I prefer to work alone than working in a team.
- Want to be the leader or follower?
From my perspective, I want to be the follower of a team. Because firstly, a leader of team should always consider opinions of all members in the team and make a decision that can be accepted by all. But I'm the kind of person who deeply believe in my own judgement and are relatively hard to changed by others, so the decision I make may be not very acceptable to everyone in the team. What's more, while making decision, the leader make take a risk be mainly responsible for the outcome. I'm not dare to take risk and the responsibility may make me feel stressful. In contrast, being a follower enable me to concentrate on my specific work and do my best. Therefore I want to be the follower of the team.
