How long have you been at Oregon State? How did you end up here? What\u2019s your career been like?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Two and half years. I moved to Oregon with my husband in August 2016 because of his job at OSU.<\/p>\n

I was a stay-home mom for the first one and half years, and started my job at OSU College of Forestry in January 2018.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

What\u2019s your favorite part of your job?<\/strong><\/p>\n

My favorite part of my job is the people I work with. They are kind, warm and supportive.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

What does your life look like outside work? Tell me about your family and your hobbies.<\/strong><\/p>\n

I have two kids. My daughter just turned six, and my son is four years old. My husband is an anthropologist.<\/p>\n

I like piano, harp and classical Chinese music (Zheng, or Zither), and I also like gardening, trying different food, watching films, reading books and travelling.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Have you read, watched or come across anything in pop culture, or just in life lately that you\u2019d like to share with the CoF community?<\/strong><\/p>\n

I\u2019m afraid I am a bit old-fashioned and don\u2019t know much about pop culture\u2026..I\u2019d like to share some of my favorites: all Miyazaki\u2019s cartoon films, Into the West (2005) by Steven Spielberg, Am\u00e9lie (2001) by Jean-Pierre Jeunet.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Did you celebrate Chinese New Year earlier this year? What does that mean to you? Tell me about your heritage.<\/strong><\/p>\n

It\u2019s a festival of family reunion. In my family, we make dumplings after dinner at New Year\u2019s Eve and eat dumplings as the first breakfast in the New Year.<\/p>\n

On the first day of New Year, young members of the family receive red envelops from seniors as a symbol of good luck.<\/p>\n

When I was little, my grandparents and parents always put the red envelops under my pillows to ward off evil spirits and protect me from sickness.<\/p>\n

Now it\u2019s my turn to put red envelops under my kid\u2019s pillows. I guess that\u2019s part of my \u201cheritage.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
