Interesting Facts about Me

• On some occasions I use “Richard” as my name
• I love swimming, hiking, running and cooking.
• I had learned to play the piano for about 10 yrs, unfortunately due to lack of practice since high school, I can hardly play now. However I’m still a classical music fan today and attend classical concerts sometimes, some of my favorite composers are L. v. Beethoven, J. Brahms, F. F. Chopin. I’m a fan of YouTuber TwoSet Violin. (I wish I could be a lingling in computer science and music). Apart from classical music, I also enjoy pop, rock, (and some) country, etc. According to my Replay 2023 by Apple Music, some of the artists I like the most are Green Day, Billy Joel, and Elton John.
