After I came to college, I decided to be an actress to learn, experience different lives, and understand others because I wanted to build a communication bridge between people. I have been playing Chinese instruments since 4th grade. I enjoyed being on stage and performing for the audience. However, I had a period of giving up playing them because I only wanted to play with other kids at that time and thought practicing them occupied all my time. After working for about six years, I realized I should not live like this because I had lost my dream and life goal. I wanted to return to the stage. Therefore, I am here at Cal. As an international student, I know living abroad has many challenges, and I am super happy to help you with any concerns. However, whether you are an international student or not, feel free to contact me anytime in Mandarin, Japanese, or English. I can not wait to see you in the future!
