🌊 My Hometown: Qingdao

I was raised in Qingdao (青岛), a beautiful coastal city in eastern China. Known for its red-roofed houses, European-style architecture, and sea breeze, it’s where my love for the ocean and slow-paced life began.

🎶 My Favorite Artist: Lana Del Rey

Since middle school, I’ve been deeply drawn to the cinematic melancholy and poetic storytelling of Lana Del Rey. Her music evokes both nostalgia and dreaminess, which resonates with many moments in my life. Over the years, I’ve collected many of her vinyl records, and they remain some of my most cherished possessions.

📷 Stories: Film Camera & Life

I’m also a beginner film camera collector and hobbyist. I love how film captures imperfections, shadows, and quiet details that digital often misses. Whether it’s a friend laughing under sunlight or a blurry café street in the rain, my cameras help me freeze time in its most delicate form.

🌟 Why I Keep These Things

Whether it’s Lana’s music or film photography, I find peace in slow and intentional experiences. These little passions help me remember who I am outside of academics and research — and they inspire me to approach even technical work with creativity and emotion.

Thanks for stopping by this little corner of my world 💫
