## Biography

James “Jaime” Liu (Liu Zhan Mu Shi), born March 7th, in Ladner, BC, to the owner of a real estate firm that specialised in farmland. With that being said, James had lived most of his life in the northern half of Delta, on a strawberry farm. From a very young age, he was familiarised with the farm culture, and spent a lot of his time isolated from the more city-like life that would usually come from living across the river from bigger cities like Vancouver or Richmond. If there was anything useful that came out of living on a farm, is that you get to know as many people as you can that live immediately around you, plus you have a lot of time to think.

The first time that James was allowed to join a tankery group was when he was about to turn 10. That year, a new tank arrived to add onto the small fleet that operated in that field. By now, the tankery community of Delta and Tssawassen were well aware that James was willing to pursue tankery, alongside a few other local children. Because of this, James was given the opportunity, due to his adamant pestering of the owner, to be the commander of the new tank they had.

He wants to take this further. After a match, a man approached him, and handed him a flyer, asking him if he’s ever wanted to go national. Now, James has only been to a few places outside of Delta. Those places are Brampton, Toronto, and China. To go do tankery stuff at the national level meant that he would be able to see the country, without cost to his parents. Not like his parents are rich anyways or anything…

James showed up to the venue that the man had given him on the pamphlet, registration papers in hand. The place was a little far from his house, but with enough determination, he would end up showing up on time, every time. This was James’ first time in an armoury, and the first step to his international career. He was measured, familiarised, and taught the ways of the army, before finally finishing his introductory course. Now, he was a full-fledged army cadet.

James participated in various tankery tournaments in his home country, though not a winner at most of them. He would end up moving to Japan shortly after his 10th grade year, after his grandmother decided to settle in Hokkaido after FINALLY getting married to his Japanese grandfather.

He transferred to Saunders University High School when he was 17, and became the gunner of a Sherman.

James' background is Cantonese. His family is originally from Hong Kong.
