Bio

I was born in a little village of Baishenmiao, which is located in Shucheng, Anhui. I am fortunate to grow up in a family where the education for children is always taken as the first priority. I am proud of my father, who emerges naturally as a leading figure in his community due to his compassion, justice, wisdom, and vision although he has never held any political power in an official manner. I am also proud of my mother, who, as a typical mum in China,  is kindhearted and diligent albeit sometimes a little bit talkative.  In addition, I have a  little sister, to whom I am grateful because she offered me a baby sitter job when I was a teenage.

​

On top of physics, I am interested in any other form of intellectual activities or artistic adventures. I am also open to any other perspective into our lives and cosmos.

Education

What I have been pursuing are the papers I have been writing and the minds I have been molding, not the title tagged to me in sociology no matter whether it is for goodness or badness.
