                        My story 我的故事


         My childhood and teenage years 童年和青少年

I was born into a traditional literary family in Chengdu, Sichuan, China in 1974.  As most of the children in China at that time, I grew up experiencing an ordinary and happy life.  We did not have a TV or electronic devices at home.  We spent most of our spare time playing freely outdoors.  From a young age, I liked to read all kinds of Chinese and foreign books.  I learnt to paint from my artist father from a young age and continued to learn until I went to high school.  I was never a very healthy child physically, therefore, during my teenage years I learnt the practice of meditation and martial arts from many practitioners and masters.  I successfully cured all of my sickness and became much stronger physically.

 

1974年我出生在中国四川成都,家庭世代都是书香门第。我们那个时代在中国长大的孩们,都过着平凡而快乐的生活,家里没有电视机和电子设备,大多数空余的时间都在户外自由地玩耍。我从小就喜欢阅读各种中外书籍,也跟随父亲学习绘画,一直到高中。我小的时候身体一直都不好,直到青少年时期就开始跟随修行者和师傅们学习静坐,修行和武术,并且成功地治好了疾病,身体越来越强壮

My education and work experience 教育和工作经历

 

I graduated in 1995 from Sichuan International Studies University.  I majored in English literature, economy and trade, and minored in French.  I have searched in the library of my university and read many different classical books about philosophy, religion, life, and cultures.

 

1995毕业于四川外国语大学。主修英语文学,经贸,兼修法语。在大学期间,我查遍了大学图书馆里的书籍,饱读了各种关于哲学,宗教,生活和文化的书籍


After graduation, I worked as a translator in an American pharmaceutical company, and later became a business development manager in a large German corporation, which has successfully set up 17 WOFEs and JVs in China within only 4 years.  I have lived in Chengdu, Beijing, and Shanghai, and have traveled to many cities in China.

大学毕业以后,我在一家美国制药公司担任翻译,而后进入一家大型德国企业担任业务发展经理,该企业在短短的4时间,在中国投资建立了17家独资和合资公司。因为工作的关系,我也先后居住在成都,北京和上海,经常出差跑遍了中国的大江南北

My Marriage and family 婚姻和家庭

 

I married my German husband in 2000, and became a full time housewife.  I have one son and one daughter.  We lived in Beijing, in North-east China, and then moved to Shanghai where we lived for 10 years, and got to know many neighbors and friends from all over the world.  In 2012, we moved to Hamburg, Germany and lived there for 5 years.  Since 2017, we have been living in Switzerland.​


2000年我与德裔丈夫结婚,开启了全职相夫教子的生活,儿女双全。我们曾经居住在中国北京和东北,而后定居在上海整整十年,结识了来自世界各地的邻居和朋友。2012年,我们全家搬到德国汉堡,在那里居住了五年。2017年我们全家搬到瑞士居住至今



My hobbies - More for learning 爱好 - 学无止境

 

The life of a full time housewife gives me the entire freedom of being myself, and being able to explore and learn more.  Everyday is a great day of reading, learning and exploring.  I spend average 5 to 6 hours everyday on reading.  I have many hobbies and interests.  I am very good with numbers, therefore, I have learnt to trade in stock market and to invest in different products.  I have learnt to play tennis and golf.  I have learnt about design of house and garden by subscribing Architectural Digest for 10 years... I have learnt about cars, boats, jewellery...  It doesn't mean that I need to own them, it is the meaning of learning about life and things. 

职家庭主妇的生活使我拥有成为自己,探索和学习更多知识的全部自由。每天都是美好的,因为可以阅读,学习和探索。我每天平均花56个小时阅读。我有很多爱好和兴趣。我对数字非常敏感,因此,我学会了在股票市场进行交易以及投资于不同的产品。我学会了打网球和打高尔夫球。通过订阅《建筑文摘》已有10年的时间,我已经了解了房屋和花园的设计...我也了解汽车,船只,珠宝...这并不意味着我需要拥有它们,这是了解生活和事物


My lifestyle - Less is more 生活方式 - 少就是多

 

My husband and I have sold all of our properties.  Simple life is happy life.  I have became a vegetarian and I try to eat one meal a day (only lunch).  When it comes to lifestyle, LESS IS MORE!

 

我和丈夫已经卖掉了我们所有的房产。简单的生活就是幸福的生活。我已经成为素食者,并且每天尝试只吃一顿饭(仅午餐)

日常生活,少就是多!
