Short introduction

Notes

I am a first-year student studying Aeronautical and Aviation Engineering at The Hong Kong Polytechnic University. I am interested in aircraft, engineering, and the world around flight.

I was born in Lanzhou, Gansu. When I was in Grade 4, I moved to Wuxi, Jiangsu, and later came to Hong Kong for university through the Gaokao. These places feel quite different from each other, and I think that has shaped how I notice small changes in a city.

I started getting into aviation photography in 2024. I also enjoy road cycling, photography, travel, and plane spotting. Most of these interests are quiet ones: going somewhere, waiting, looking closely, and keeping a record of what passed by.

This website is where I keep parts of that record: personal experiences, photos, projects, travel notes, and a few thoughts that I may want to return to later.
