  • Description

    Hello, thank you for noticing me. Let me tell you a bit about myself. I'm from Zhejiang Province, China. You might not know this place, but it's very close to Shanghai and is also a very prosperous city. I completed my university studies in South Korea, majoring in Media and Communication. I'm very interested in writing and digital creation, and I'm working on becoming a media creator. I also enjoy reading, especially detective novels. I love music, though unfortunately, I don't play any instruments. I'm also a fan of football, and if you're curious, I'm a supporter of Borussia Dortmund. I enjoy cooking and baking, and I'm always eager to try different recipes. I can cook a bit of Chinese, Korean, Japanese, and Western cuisine. I absolutely love animals; we have two dogs at home, one of which was a stray that we adopted. I have two years of experience working in a bank. Although the job was quite tedious, it taught me how to be meticulous in completing tasks (after all, I was dealing with money) and helped me improve my communication skills. Even though I didn't enjoy the job that much, I'm still grateful for the experience and appreciate the personal growth it brought me.
    I might not be an extrovert—what we call “slow to warm up” in Chinese, meaning I need some time to open up. (Oh, and if you're interested, my MBTI is INFP, and my zodiac sign is Scorpio). But trust me, once I get past the initial unfamiliarity, I can become *terrifyingly* extroverted. I hope you don't mind!
    I haven't actually traveled to many places. I lived in South Korea for six years, visited Japan a few times (so I know a bit of Japanese), and I've also been to Denmark (I love the winters there). I really enjoy experiencing different cultures, and being able to experience them firsthand is something truly magical for me. I don't like holding prejudices against the unknown because the internet isn't always a place you can fully trust. That's why I prefer to use my own experiences to describe them. As an international student, I have a high level of acceptance towards different cultures. In university, I often teamed up with students from various countries to complete assignments, and I frequently engaged in conversations about our respective cultures. This not only brought me great joy but also taught me a lot. I always have many thoughts about life, but I often feel afraid to try them out. I hope this is my first step, and I'm really looking forward to our meeting.
