I'm from China and currently studying in Los Angeles. If my life has to be summed up into a single word, it should be "flux". I was born in a mountain where electricity and toilet was not a commonplace, then step by step my family moved to a small village, to a town, to a city..till I flew across the Pacific for further education. For some complicated reasons I've lived in several cities in China, including Beijing, Guangzhou, Shenzhen, and I've travelled to many more places within and without China. I have this uncontrollable need to travel or to move to a different city after living in a place for a while. This urge for diversity also applies to other aspects of my life. For example, I have wide interests in academic topics. I've read feminism books such as The Second Sex, philosophy such as Story of Philosophy, literature like Love in the Time of Cholera, and other topics including History, Psychology, Economics, Physical Therapy, Sociology, Political Philosophy etc. Like my restlessness in residing, a call for change will be felt after I read on a topic for a while. Instead of digging deep in one singe topic, I really enjoy skimming across different ones and drilling a passage between them, as at the beginning we divided the subjects not because they are independent, but for humans have limited time and energy. Separated by time and space, people from all walks of life talk about the same truth.
