All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy.

Film
I love films. I savor every moment spent watching a great movie, and I cherish every second inside a cinema. Films are not only dream-making machines, they also carry the full weight of human philosophical reflection. Through cinema, I explore both the darkest corners of human emotion and the noblest of virtues—the echo of human nature.
To date, I have watched around 1,400 films, and below are ten of my most beloved among them.
“After the invention of film, human life has been extended at least threefold.” —— Yi yi, Edward Yang
Travel
I love traveling. I enjoy stepping into a bustling and unfamiliar city, experiencing people’s ways of life and the vibrancy of everyday moments. I also enjoy witnessing magnificent and vast natural landscapes, bearing witness to the beauty of nature. Through traveling, I come to know the world, and through traveling, I come to know myself. So let’s hit the road and begin those days between departure and arrival. See you down the road.
Below are some of the cities I have visited and photos I took during the journeys.
