My hometown is Tai'an in the Shandong Province of China. The area has a long history of human civilization, dating back to 4100BC. The city is now built around the Mount Tai, which is considered by many as the most famous mountain in Chinese history and culture. People there are heavily influenced by Confucianism as the home town of Confucius is only 40 miles away.
After high school, I went to college in Beijing, where I met my wife, whose college is an immediate neighbor of mine. We then came to the U.S. together in 2004 and spent 3 years in southeastern Michigan before moving to Penn State together in 2007.
Although I've spent so many years in schools, my life is more than study. I watch a lot of sports. While I was in China, it was soccer all the time. After coming to the U.S., I also adopted football, basketball and, sometimes, baseball. Like many Chinese, I play soccer, table tennis and badminton, just for pleasure. I play video games occasionally, although I'm far from being a serious gamer. I also enjoy travelling and experiencing different places. During the past four years, I have visited 12 U.S. states and eight other countries (Italy, France, Germany, Austria, Monaco, San Marino, Vatican City, Canada) besides China and the U.S.
