I was born in Beijing, China.
Mother is an artist of Chinese water ink painting.
Father is a teacher of Chinese language and literature. They suffered difficulties in bringing me and my sister up. His grandfather graduated from University of Illinois in 1925 with a MS in Railroad Administration and went back to work in China. During those six invaluable years in middle school, I forged my dream and philosophy of my life. I also determined to go to the best university in China, Beijing University.
