In August 2014, I took part in a 10-days workshop on
storytelling by photographing in JiAn city in the central part of China. Two
mentors from Nepal are experts on expressing feeling, passion and voices of vulnerable
people through the lens. Together with another 9 participants, I tried to
explore an unfamiliar city with my camera, and my heart. Products exhibition
were held in JiAn city, Beijing and Katmandu successively.

Family life is
very important in our lives. My parents are getting old as I grow up. This year
I decide to spend more time with them. So we took a 10 day family trip in
November 2014. Frankly speaking, that was my first time to have a vacation trip
with my parents, which was a little bit challenging but definitely worth the
experience. During the last 20 years, I have spent less than two weeks each
year with them. This family vacation trip helped re-bond the close relationship
between two generations. We are planning our next trip in 2015.
In January
11st, 2015, I finished the Marathon race in 5hour 9minute for the first time in
my life at a coast city of Southern China, YEAH! During 2014, I ran 3 half
Marathon in different cities of China, and am going to go on running. This
year, I have one more half Marathon at the end of March 2015, Pyongyang half
Marathon on April 13th 2015 and Mogolian Temujin Grassland half
Marathon in July.
My running
exercise began from my time in Hawaii. Gretchen, Nina, Taku inspired me to
start my physical exercise, the weather in Hawaii made me enjoy the physical training
time. I still remember Gretchen, Megan and I jogging during our GIST trip. Just
need to continue the passion to run when I live in Beijing, which is not easy
considering the bad air pollution here. But I have adapted myself by running on
any sunshine day, or taking my jogging shoes with me on my field visit for
convenient running whenever possible.

Thousands of
thanks to AHILA, who reminded me to finish this sharing paper, and pasted it on
behalf of me at the page of G12 Adventure. As you know, there is still some
barrier to accessing internet from mainland China, but I believe the upcoming
future is promising and would try my best to achieve it.
May I wish
all of you wherever you live throughout the earth a HAPPY NEW YEAR of the
SHEEP!
