HOBBIES
DRAWING
I love drawing in my spare time. I usually do some digital illustrations, and hand drawing with lines only.
READING NOVELS
I like reading detective novels very much, and my favorite author is Honobu Yonezawa.
TRAVELING
I have been to many countries and places, I like to visit art museums in different countries.
GAMING
Video games are one of my biggest hobbies. I really like some jrpg-style pixel games, and the one I’ve been playing recently is Octopath Traveler.
ICE SKATING
Ice skating is the only sport I like, because my hometown Shanghai is not a very cold city, so I’m really looking forward to some ice sports.
