A little bit about me

Hi guys and Gary, welcome to the happy valley. It’s interesting that I open this English Blog even when I don’t have a Chinese blog (now I am thinking of it), hope this Blog can be a platform with which I can interact with my friends and record my happy days in Colombo, such a beautiful city in the precious Island.

Just a year ago, if you ask me what Sri Lanka is alike, there are only a few things I can tell. I know that here is a very famous female athlete, who once earned a silver medal in an Olympic game several years ago; I know that Sri Lankan women have achieved a lot in the society where we can see one of the first female President in the Asian countries. The other thing I can ensure you is that it’s a country far away from my motherland-China.

On one day in last February, when I was in a meeting, I got a phone call and was informed that I was scheduled to be dispatched to Sri Lanka in the March, the place I only heard of in TV programmes. And my friends told me that I can have chances to taste the best black tea in the world. Now I can say not only I enjoy the finest tea every morning (the habit I shape here), but also I meet the very friendly, gentle, and beautiful people here, either in the city area or in the suburbs. They are always smiling to you with a great patience.

Since I planned to be a scientist of marine-biology when I was young, I chose to learn oceanography in the university. However, later, I found my gift and interest lies somewhere else. When I graduated form the university, I found it’s not easy to find a job which I can satisfy with. (right now jobs is a very big headache for Chinese students ) Before I come to this country, I serve in a government agency in Shenzhen a southern city of China, and I met my wife there. I never thought that one day I would be a diplomat in a foreign country, but right now I feel that I am so fortunate to take this kind of job. It gives me the opportunity to broaden my eyes, and enrich me the experiences of how to apply your ability in a tem, how to take your own responsibility, how to be a gentle man, and the most important, I love my motherland more. It reminds a quote said like this “I only regret that I have but one life to lose for my country-- Nathan Hale”.

I am happy to see this country has already entered in a whole new era with a great potential to develop in a more rapid pace. And the people can embrace a better life in the near future. I am so honored to work here and share the same blue sky and beautiful sunshine very day with this great nation.
