When I was in my early 20s
My style is more streetwear
Wide leg pants and tank tops
With more years behind me
I have my own career and have seen more
Now I tend to wear simple and appropriate outfit
I developed an interest in home décor as entering my 30s
When I went shopping for sofa
This one caught my eye at first glance
It’s big enough
The color coding is neutral or you may call it cool
But these colorful cushions
Create a warm atmosphere
We don’t have a tv cause we seldom watch it
This is one of my son’s drawings
Last time I asked him
Arthur, which painting do you think is the prettiest one in our house
He said his was the best
This is a man and a woman
Having intercourse
My son saw this one and said, mom, ass
I recall they coming to my house
And asking me how come I put on such paintings with child in the house
Well, he doesn’t think it’s a big deal
I no longer shop for bags and shoes a lot
Instead I would buy napkins
Pillow cases, sheets
Plates, bowls, knife and forks, candles, cutting boards
Almost anything you could think of
Before going to Paris
I was a good cook
I like spicy food
Hotpot, Sichuan, Hunan, Guizhou, they all are delicious
I love homely dishes
I love to make friends
Just like my dad
Shortly after I gave birth to my son
My dad came to live with us for about a month
And one day I took Arthur out for a walk
People everywhere asked Arthur
Where was your grandfather
It felt like everybody knew my dad
I had him in 2011
Four months after his birth I went to work in New York and took him with me
As he started to understand stuff, I’d tell him
I’m gonna be busy today
But I will be back by a certain time
And I will buy you a present that you like
And he’d cheer up right away
My son doesn’t go to afterschool classes
He does sports all the time from Monday to Saturday
At a kid gathering
One said I wish to quit doing homework
And another one said
I wish I can come top of the class every time
And my son said
I wish I can play switch everyday
A friend of mine has a house with a swimming pool
My son saw it and asked me
Mom why don’t you work harder
They have a swimming pool
I said Arthur, please, we are doing well
My family was broke when I was a kid, you know that?
Everybody is different
When I first started making money
I bought an apartment for my parents
With all my savings
I felt accomplished by so doing
I changed the life of my family
Fashion is a difficult business
We were in the red for the first four years
I couldn’t lift myself out of anxiety for months
Later I interviewed thirty, forty people
For hiring
And when I finished doing that I was cured
You know why
Because I listened to their business stories
And they appeared to be worse than mine
I was doing well
Now I post daily look on Moments
I have different look for each day
I’m the model
She has no clue as to photoshoping
I never do photoshop
They sometime would say
For god sake please do some photoshoping, this looks terrible
You can literally see her face swollen
As a female entrepreneur
You need to attend to your company, and your family
Woman is often expected to be an all-rounder
And they are resilient
Like when you start a business
It’s good enough to lead a team and accomplish 80%
I grow and mature day by day
I learn to make my choices, hold my horses and tolerate when I need to
I think it’s all about balance
