Self Introduction:

I come from the biggest city in China, Shanghai. Just like holding great enthusiasm for art since my childhood, I am now dedicating myself in physics, enjoying the wonder of physics in detecting, altering and building of a micro world. I'm also eager to build a bridge between physics and medicines, benefiting more people with modern magic physics and making them healthier.
