I was born in a remote county in Chongqing, China

That place occupied my whole childhood and teenage years. It's a lovely small county, but also less developed. During those years, I rarely had any chance of traveling out or even went to the center urban area of chongqing.
After my graduation from junior high school, thanks to my parent, I had the opportunity to participate in a summer camp led by some foreign teachers and volunteer college students in Beijing, which had greatly borden my horizon and also ignited my desire to explore the world outside chongqing.

I studied Computer Science in Chengdu

At the age of 18, I graduated from senior high school and got enrolled by UESTC in Chengdu. At the second semester of freshman year, I became a full member of a software programming studio organized by some senior students, learning iOS development there.
Joining this studio might be the most right decision I made during college years. Before college, I basically had no experience of programming, but learning in this studio open a new world to me. Moreover, it offered me precious opportunities to learn advanced programming skills and technologies, to study with creative peers and seniors. Most important, I made some close friends there.
