Personal life of 潘言

A few keywords of my interests:

  • Beijing: My hometown. I spent 7 years at High School Affiliated to Renmin University of China (RDFZ) for middle school and high school, where I was in the Early Development Program (EDP).
  • Photography: I love photography, including both film and digital. I like to photograph the sparkling moments in typical everyday life, which Paul Graham calls “a shimmer of possibility”. [1,2,3,4]
  • Art: I love art and literature and I always want to learn more about them, despite being a math/CS nerd. I particularly like romanticism art/literature and post-impressionism art.
