Shirley's Profile

As a manager, I enjoy the creative work and "the management art"; As an amateur, I love to work on painting, melodizing, vocal music, piano, photography, writing, reading, translating, and also plush toys -- bears, dogs, cats and anything else funny and lovely...:-)

I was born in Beijing, but, I had been a "corps soldier" when I was younger than 15 years old in a frontier because of the Culture Revolution. Then, I was lucky enough to be one of the first group of young people who entered the university after the tragedy was finished in China.

I was major in Chinese classical language and literature as a full time student for 5 years, then a college teacher. Then I have studied journalism, world economics and international business administration in China and in the US for 7 years while I worked in the financial journalism and IT industries. After I got my doctoral degree in 2002, I have been learning painting, vocal music and wrote music until now. I enjoy learning and creating something new every day...

I love nature and I enjoy seeing and feeling the beauty from the sea, sky and anything else that relates to the nature. In my eyes, no matter whether it is a tree, a flower, a bird or a butterfly, no matter whether it is a cloud in the sky, a fish in the sea or a little kid by the street, they all have something beautiful in their hearts (if they have one) or on their bodies. I often wonder in amazement how the Mother Nature can produce such a beautiful flower or leaf... Every day, I get inspiration from nature and try to create or express something beautiful with my painting,singing, music, writing and photography in my free time...

I love the art of impressionism and Chinese flower and bird paintings, European classical music, American light rock and Chinese folk music, classical architectures, photography of nature...

I have been to Europe, Australia, America and some Eastern countries. I enjoy the traveling and learning from the other cultures and civilizations, enjoy the works by Honore de Balzac, Charles Dickens and Shakespeare, the movies such as Forrest Gump, Titanic, and Green Mile...

With optimism, cheerful confidence, and a positive personality, I am proud of myself as a lady after many years on the hard and happy road of life. Every morning, when I am running or walking in the golden sunshine, I often feel that I am a totally fresh, just like only 25 years old -- my "theory" is that I was 25 this year, then I would be 23 next year... To keep a young and healthy psychology is the precondition to keep a younge feature...   

Sometimes, I am also emotional, weak and like to weep...:-)

This is me ? a native Chinese with black eyes and hair.
