🫑 Miscellaneous

I love art in all its forms, both auditory and visual, finding beauty in both Western classical music and Eastern traditional performances. Playing the violin is one of my greatest joys, and I have a deep appreciation for Western classical music. I also enjoy Peking opera, especially the Shang School of Peking Opera Dan role (尚派), xiangsheng (crosstalk, a traditional Chinese comedic dialogue), and classical Chinese dance like 朝鲜舞 (Korean ethnic dance in the Chinese classical dance style).
