Which city do you live in?

I live in Beijing, which is the capital of China. It's a bustling modern metropolis with a rich history and culture.

When did you learn how to type on a keyboard?

Well, when I was a kid, there were some basic computer classes in my primary school that taught us typing. But what we learned back then was very elementary—it was quite basic and not advanced at all.

Do you have good memory?

Well, back when I was in high school, I was quite good at memorizing things because I had to recite a lot of chemical formulas and poems. However, now that I'm at university, I feel understanding is much more important than rote memorization, so my memorization skills have been gradually deteriorating.

Do you like getting up early in the morning?

Honestly, I hate getting up early in the morning. I often tend to stay up late at night finishing my tasks or relaxing, so waking up early always makes me feel terrible and exhausted.

What's the first thing you do in the morning?

I know it might sound very unhealthy, but the very first thing I do after waking up is check my phone to see if anyone has sent me messages, or just scroll through social media for a few minutes.

Do you think breakfast is important?

Yes, I definitely think it's crucial. My parents always remind me that if I skip breakfast completely, I could develop stomach issues in the long run.

Do you think people today should learn about AI technology?

Definitely yes, because AI can offer immense help in almost all aspects of our daily lives. For example, students can ask AI to generate customized study schedules or curate detailed learning materials. Employees can use AI to automate repetitive tasks and boost work efficiency. Even elderly people can interact with AI devices as companions to keep them company.

Why do some people like to watch sports events?

I think it really depends on the age group. For young people, watching sports events is a great way to socialize and relax. They enjoy the excitement of the game while grabbing snacks and drinks with friends. For older people who might feel lonely, watching matches on TV is an enjoyable way to kill time. As for working adults, it gives them a chance to escape from their daily responsibilities and workplace distractions on their days off.

Do people like to spend leisure time out in your country?

To be honest, I think a lot of people nowadays prefer spending their free time indoors rather than going out. Although everyone knows taking a walk in the park or camping in the woods is healthier, going outdoors can be quite stressful because you have to handle all the logistics beforehand, such as transportation and supplies. Therefore, most people choose to relax at home with their technology devices, as it's the easiest and most convenient option.

Do you think only old people have time for leisure?

To some extent, yes, but not entirely. Young students are often swamped with homework and extra tutoring classes that their parents arrange to build skills. Working adults, even on weekends or short holidays, can rarely escape their work responsibilities completely because they still have to reply to work messages. On the other hand, while senior citizens generally have fewer work demands, many of them are busy taking care of their grandchildren, which can also be quite exhausting.

What qualities should a good doctor or nurse possess?

I think the most critical quality is attention to detail. Patient symptoms can often be very nuanced and subtle, like a slight change in lip color indicating liver problems. If a doctor or nurse overlooks these small signs, they might miss the optimal treatment window. Furthermore, writing prescriptions requires extreme precision, as even an extra zero could lead to dangerous consequences. Additionally, doctors need to be emotionally strong when delivering difficult news, while nurses should be compassionate and caring when attending to patients' daily needs.

Why do some people like to grow plants?

People grow plants for different reasons. Some grow decorative plants because they are visually pleasing, making the living space vibrant and refreshing the indoor air. Others cultivate vegetables or fruits like tomatoes and mint for practical purposes, enjoying the satisfaction of using fresh, home-grown ingredients in their meals. For elderly individuals, gardening also serves as a gentle form of outdoor exercise.

Who should people ask for help, colleagues or family members?

It depends on the nature of the problem. For work-related challenges, it's best to turn to colleagues because they are experts in the field and can provide precise, practical advice. However, for personal matters, consulting family members is usually better. Family members know your background and personality thoroughly, and unlike colleagues who might have competing interests, family always has your best interests at heart and is more forgiving.

Do you keep in touch with your friends from childhood? Why or why not?

Yes, I still keep in touch with some of my childhood friends, though our communication can be somewhat shallow. As we grew up, we attended different universities and developed different life routines, so we don't have as many shared topics as before. Nevertheless, we keep each other up to date via social media by viewing each other's posts, and occasionally sharing old photos to reminisce about memorable moments.

What do you think of communicating via social media?

Communicating via social media has clear benefits because it enables us to maintain contact with friends from the past despite geographical distance. However, it can lack depth. Interactions often boil down to simply clicking the 'like' button, and people usually post only their happy highlights while keeping deeper emotions to themselves. Genuine emotional connection still requires text conversations or face-to-face meetups.

Has technology changed people's friendship?

Yes, technology has brought both positive and negative changes. On the positive side, tools like FaceTime and Zoom allow friends living in different countries to stay connected instantly, whereas in the past, sending physical letters could take weeks. On the negative side, technology can diminish real-world interactions. When friends hang out in person, they often end up staring at their phone screens instead of talking, which can weaken interpersonal bonds.

What's the difference between having young friends and older friends?

Younger friends usually bring vibrant energy and enthusiasm. You can attend live music festivals, watch sports events, or chat about trendy topics together. In contrast, older friends offer valuable life experience and maturity. They are great mentors to turn to when seeking advice, and their patience leads to better mutual understanding and fewer conflicts.
