Who am I?

I'm a dedicated lover of astronomy and films.

I have an avid interest in mathematics, physical sciences, informatics, logic, philosophy, literature, photography, law, geography, history, politics, travelling, medicine, biology, gastronomy, linguistics and agriculture.

I also have interest in music, economics, business, sociology, outdoor sports, education, anthropology, art, architecture and library science.

Reading, travelling, sleeping and schooling take up most of my time so far. I believe I benefit the most from the former three and rather little from the last.

One of my most important life goals is to earn enough money as soon as possible so that I can travel around the world with my family. I have pondered over what I should try to do in my life for many times. The same conclusion was always arrived at. Nothing can replace touring the world. My mind is always drawn to exotic landscapes.

For the time being, I'm working hard on my studies. I don't have a preference for my career in the future because I believe all jobs have their particular significance in the society and can make a great deal of contribution if a person is dedicated to work, but I try to do my best and am now considering engineering or scientific research. I also like to learn languages, partly because I don't like to read translations.

I'm a liberalist. I think I will never change. I feel that the liberal mindset is inherent in me. For many instances, which happen as early as when I, at the age of seven, was enrolled in an ordinary local primary school in Canton, China, I'm often disgusted by restrictions that arise from so-called 'moral values' and 'social norms', particularly collectivism and the act of demanding respect, and have clashed with many people, most of which are teachers, even though I'm usually rather shy and reserved to voice out my concern and dissent. My parents are just ordinary Chinese (Cantonese) working-class people. They did pretty much the same as what other parents would do in my upbringing, but they tend to be more liberal in the sense that they are more open to new ideas and that they allow me to venture in different things in studies and life. I'm grateful for this.

I recognise myself as a Cantonese first.
