Recently I'm learning Ethics, reading books by Friedrich Nietzsche and Jiddu Krishnamurti. Although just started, I found their books very interesting.
I've been fascinated by Economics during my second year in US, especially Macroeconomics. The questions I was trying to answer were: 1) Is Capitalism really that evil? 2) How does free market work? 3) Is America's economic system better than China's? What should China adopt? What shouldn't? I cannot say I fully answered all these questions (in fact I'm still observing and thinking), but at least I feel much clearer about them than before. If you are also interested in these questions, welcome to discuss with me. ;)
I am a travelholic, seriously, not kidding. I like going to new places, eating new food, meeting new people, reading new books, and especially listening to new ideas/opinions. I love to explore.
I am quite athletic. I enjoy lots of sports, including hiking, jogging, dancing, softball, table tennis, tennis, swimming and balabala. I hate staying indoor for the whole time. I need and I love going out~
Reading books and watching movies are the two ways of spending my spare time mostly. The authors I like includes Yingtai Long, Hu Shi, Friedrich Nietzsche and Jiddu Krishnamurti. And here is a list of my favorite movies: "Dead Poets Society", "Die Welle", "American History X", "Der Untergang", "Milk", "The Lord of the Rings", "The Bridges of Madison County", "Kung Fu Panda", "The Incredibles", "Iron Man", "The Prestige", "Ratatouille", "Troy", "The Dark Night", "Slumdog Millionaire".
