Hobbies

On the lighter side of my life, I have a bunch of interests and enjoy many things.

Art – I love traditional Chinese poetry. I practiced Chinese calligraphy and seal carving, and played Chinese flute from a very young age. I always enjoy the traditional Chinese art forms such as Pingtan and Yue Opera. I like drinking tea and am very interested in tea culture and tea ceremony.
History – I like reading history books, and have studied the history of Ming Dynasty for a long time. My particular interest is in the Year 1644 when several historic events took place – that year had a significant, long-term impact on the following history of China.
Sports – I am a fan of both college and professional sports – especially for football and basketball. I am a competitive table-tennis player.
