When I'm free, I like to play video games, watch anime, and read books. Most of them are about fiction (especially Sci-Fi). For anime, I particularly like Cowboy Bebop , Ghost In The Shell , and Made in Abyss . For Sci-Fi, I'm a big fan of Cixin Liu , Vernor Steffen Vinge , Hannu Rajaniemi , and Isaac Asimov . I would say Sci-Fi shapes my dream, and those brilliant ideas are one of the biggest motivations for my research. They, together with the help of my supvervisors and friends, help me go through the hardest time.

In the second year of my undergraduate study, I was lost and in complete despair. One day I left all my work and spent the whole day writing a Sci-Fi novel with over 10,000 Chinese words. That novel, entitled Under the Tide (Chinese: 浪潮之下), received the first prize in a nationwide competition . Although I would say that was more a fluke, it still successfully coveyed an idea that I was trying to express. However, as I am unsatisfied with my writing skills, I have stopped writing for years. I hope to write something that can also encourage a kid like me in the future.
