Early years
Born in Beijing 🇨🇳
I was born in Beijing and spent my early childhood there. I went to two different kindergartens before my family later moved to Weihai.
Growing up
My Story 🌎
A few big moments from my childhood — new cities, long drives, new languages and a new home.
Age 4
A new life in Weihai 🌊
When I was four, I moved with my family to Weihai, a coastal city in Shandong. My mom enrolled me in a new kindergarten there — so yep, that became my third kindergarten. Haha!
Shandong
Trains, road trips and new cities 🚄🚗
While we were living in Weihai, my dad took me on the high-speed train to Jinan and Yantai. He also drove me to Qingdao. I loved watching the cities and scenery change along the way.
Age 5
My first big road trip 🚗
We drove from Weihai all the way to Beihai in Guangxi, then continued to Chongqing. That was the beginning of many family road trips.
Age 6
Weihai → Chongqing → Chengdu 🐼
Another long family drive took us from Weihai to Chongqing and then Chengdu.
2022
Hello, Canada! 🍁
In the summer of 2022, I moved to Canada with my family and started a brand-new chapter. Since then, Chinese, English and French have all become part of my everyday life.
