I love humanity. A quote from Lincoln that I remembered well:’ Give me six hours to chop down a tree and I will spend the first four sharpening the axe’. I think of my time like that too. I’m trying to find the balance between acquiring knowledge and using my knowledge to benefit humankind. If too much time is spent on gaining knowledge, I won’t have much left to share it and apply it into the world, meaning that my knowledge will have little impact. If I spend too much time working without honing my intelligence, my actions won’t be that meaningful. That’s the dilemma I think about all the time.
P/s: However, I found a way: both doing and learning at the same time. You’ll see that theme appear in some of my projects:)

Table tennis is simply ‘getting the ball to the other side of the table’, but good technique is the most effective way to do that. That’s the philosophy I always try to instill in my teaching.

I believe playing piano is a way for me to grow. To me, it is a door opening me to the musical world, especially instrumental ones. Through piano, I develop not just my musical intelligence, but also my personality. Playing the piano teaches me about the beauty of sounds and composing. It also teaches me to be calm, perseverance and love for repetitive works. My favorite composer is, unsurprisingly, Chopin.

Chess entered my childhood as a quiet contrast to the noise of sports: a game of patience and perspective. Each move taught me to think ahead, to see not just the board but the possibilities beyond it. It sparked my fascination with logic, patterns, and strategic decision-making. In many ways, chess trained my mind long before I ever wrote a line of code.
