How many languages do you speak? Please write them in a list. Which is your mother tongue?

Chinese and English, and speak a little Japanese. Chinese is my mother tongue.

What is your favorite sport or hobby in your free time? Why is it so? Any interesting stories on it?

I usually like activities that can make me silent and free, just as calligraphy, drawing, and Chinese embroidery. I always feel relaxed when I do these things. For sports, I prefer badminton and yoga. My husband likes many kinds of sports, I met him in the stadium when I attended badminton class, and we always play badminton on weekends and in our free time after we married.

What was the most surprising thing you learned about Asia while working here?

I have been here about almost five years. The most surprising thing for me is that our team is very cohesive and friendly. For us Chinese people, the feeling is very important. We have corporate gifts at every important Chinese festival, and we always have group activities to relieve our work pressure. Аll our colleagues are energetic and kind. All of these make me feel lucky to be a member of this team.

Favorite book or a book that changed your mindset and why it did?

My favorite book is A Little Life, the author is Hanya Yanagihara from America. I have read it three times. This book was recommended by my college teacher.

This novel focuses on the lives of four different people, the book follows their relationships changing under the influence of success, wealth, addiction, and pride. Every time I read it, I have a different and deeper understanding of life.
