I was born in Xiangcheng, China, in the year of horse.

Zodiac says so, "People born in the year of horse are popular. They are cheerful, skillful with money (I wish), and perceptive, although they sometimes talk too much (I am not!). They are wise, talented, independent and good with their hands. They are hot-blooded about everything except their daily work. They like entertainment and large crowds."

My hobbies range from music to intellectual games and various sports.

Music washes away from the soul the dust of everyday life.         -- Berthold Auerbach
