Games:
- Snowboard: I started snowboarding in the 2019-20 ski season. It is my favorite sport for now and I have been doing a bit crazy since then. I spend most of my time in terrain parks learning new tricks :)
- Badminton: I have been playing badminton for 10+ years and I'm among good amateur singles players. I used to be a member of the Rice Badminton Team and the vice-president of the Badminton Association in Peking university.
- Hiking: I love outdoor activities for nature. I have visited 30+ national parks in US.
- Fitness: I have a small weight station for squat, bench press, dead lift, etc. at home -- just too lazy to head to gyms.
Music:
- Dizi (竹笛): I play Dizi, which is a Chinese musical instrument. My friends and I formed an ensemble and we have performed traditional Chinese music on 10+ galas and celebrations in Houston between 2012 and 2019.
Games:
- Mahjong (麻将): Mahjong is the Chinese equivalent of poker and is very popular in East Asia. I play Riichi Mahjong, a variation of Mahjong which emphasizes more on making right decisions instead of luckiness.
- Board grames: I also play many board games. We used to have a Dungeons and Dragons group during my PhD at Rice University.
