Personal Interests

I am a cinephile, enjoying watching a variety of films. When I’m not immersed in mathematics, I spend the majority of my free time watching movies. My all-time favorite director is Karwei Wong, who first inspired my love for movies. In fact, I have a dream to be a director. You can see my Douban here.

The following are my TOP 15:

• Burning (2018), directed by Lee Chang-dong

• Swallowtail Butterfly (1996), directed by Shunji Iwai

• The Curious Case of Benjamin Button (2008), directed by David Fincher

• Fight Club (1999), directed by David Fincher

• Taxi Driver (1976), directed by Martin Scorsese

• Days of Being Wild (1990), directed by Karwei Wong

• Blue Velvet (1986), directed by David Lynch

• American Psycho (2000), directed by Mary Harron

• Thirst (2009), directed by Park Chan-wook

My top two favorite series are: (which I consider to be PERFECT)

• Breaking Bad

• Better Call Saul

When it comes to Anime, I have a great appreciation for the works of Shinichirō Watanabe (渡边信一郎) , a dual director of Karwei Wong in Japaness Anime. The follows are my favourite:

• Cowboy Bebop

• Attack on Titan

The character in Attack on Titan whom I admire most is Erwin Smith. I believe that we are of the same kind of people, both agree a saying, “朝闻道，夕死可矣。”

• Rick and Morty

• Futurama

• Neon Genesis Evangelion

I appreciate the works from Tatsuki Fujimoto (藤本树) very much although I don’t read manga usually. The following is the rank of some of his works depending on my preference: 1. Goodbye, Eri 2. Fire punch 3.Chainsaw man 4. Look Back.

My MBTI

It seems that I’m an INTJ-A/INTJ-T.

People like to treat their daily lives as a theatrical stage, playing the roles that society expects of them in certain situations, as posited by Erving Goffmana, one sociologist.
