In 2010, I came to Canada on a study permit from China. I studied at the university of Prince Edward Island entering its third year. I have taken drama classes to supplement my chemistry study. It’s in recent time I started to see its benefits. I have focused my works after graduating from my second university in Canada on China. I wanted to make it about the autobiographical element of my life experience. I have also learned a lot about entrepreneurship after these two degrees. The job market is competitive. I decided to venture out to practice writing blogs about China and other things around 2020 inspired by the internship and the coronavirus pandemic. The Covid 19 was supposed to be a disease localized in China. But it spreaded globally due to the imports and exports, flow of labours and supply chains. People are requesting to investigate in China. But they don’t let anybody to inspect the wet market. The information was opaque until everywhere had a lockdown. Etc.
