I am Amy (Zhiheng) from China. I love travelling, music, sports, cooking/tasting food, learning challenging courses/topics/materials, and actually a lot more. I have a couple of achievements that I am happy with in different fields of my interests, and you can always find some topics, either academic or nonacademic, to talk with me! Genuineness and happiness are what I found the most important in my life: my goal for my future is not to achieve specific “goals” at certain periods of time, but what I want for my life is to discover and try my best doing things that I really love or want to do, not the things that I should or can do! I really want to share the enthusiasm for daily and academic life and make a positive impact on everyone around me!
