I grew up in Wuhan, a big, beautiful Chinese city. It is also the most popular city in China. Wuhan is located near the Yangtze River. Wuhan has a long history and cultural background. I was very glad that I could grow up here and I am proud of my hometown and my country.
I came in the US when I was 16 years old. America was totally a different country for me. New language, new environment, and different culture were all fresh to me but at the same time they were also interesting and challenging to me. To be honest, it was terrible and difficult for me to adjust to this new environment for the first half year. I did not have much friends and I was not familiarized with the new language. Now, I feel so lucky that I can finally distinguish the difference between these two cultures from two different countries. Furthermore, I would like to find the sparks among these two countries.
My hobby about Chinese literature started from my family. My father was a business man. His business was focused on Chinese antique, calligraphy and painting. He also loved to collect these stuffs and always told me stories about Chinese history and Chinese culture. My mother was a housewife. She always encouraged me to read and write. I am so grateful for having such a supportive family and they motivate me to achieve my goals.
