Born in a thunderstorm Midnight in 1993, the first time I felt the world
Suffered septicemia and complication when I was one, the first time I touched death
Fortunately, I survived and not be disabled for overuse of antibiotics

I tried to explore the world through encyclopaedia during my primary school
I began to describe death and think about life by writing since my junior high school years

I met the Unbearable Lightness of Being in 2009
I fell in love with Milan Kundera and Modern Literature the same year;
I roamed among the world of Italo Calvino, Jorge Luis Borges, Ernest Hemingway, F.S. Fitzgerald, Marguerite Duras, Gabriel Garcia Marquez since then

I made friends with philosophers during my philosophical journey: Chuang Tse&A. Camus are the most cute ones but Nietzsche& M. Foucault are too crazy

Sometimes, I was distracted by other scenery: I took Introduction to Merchandising and Advertising, I watched Mad Man, I read Confessions of an Advertising Man&Understanding Media, and I perceived Kenya Hara’s &Ikko Tanaka’s designs
I even wished I could have been a designer but unfortunately I was bad at painting
What I can do is to DELIVER MESSAGE though some other MEDIA

NOW, I am looking forward to my 22th year, AND
I never stop communicating, although human-being is lonely in essence
I never stop seeking possibility, although time is limited
I never stop comprehending life, although life is complex
I never stop loving, although love is so painful sometimes
One day, I will no longer feel the world and walk into death, but before, I hope I once have lived
