I was born and raised in Qiqihar, a lovely city in northeastern China. I moved to the states in my early twenties to further my accounting education and stayed in the field for nearly a decade in New York City. I recently started writing as a creative outlet and a potential new beginning. I love the city, dogs, my dog Bailee, four seasons at their finest, my awesome friends including this gem who gave me a spot to shine on her website, little things in life, and being sassy and quirky. I want to capture their charm truthfully and share my appreciation with you, through words. I wish they lighten your day like the many other things you click, swipe and scroll. Except we have a bigger mission here. I am grateful to have experienced life through two of the most beautiful languages, English and Chinese. You deserve that opportunity too. I hope these light-hearted bilingual stories can do their part to not only provide you with some pure joy of reading, but also create a window for you to peek into the Chinese culture, learn about the language, and get to know the people behind it.
