Finally, a new blogger is born.

Recently I am helping our senior strategist writing an article about Chinese creative youth. I am always interested in creative industry, and had few years working experience in Taipei before I came to the UK from 2011 to start my study in Warwick Business School.

I've long heard of London's melting-pot culture and its distinctive creative industries. Although it has been only half a year since I moved to London for my internship in advertising agency. The people and the culture I've been surrounded everyday and the working experience I am having now, have already changed my original way of thinking and influence me tremendously.


The main reason that I started this blog is to share creativity. It symbolise a new start for me as well.

Deep feeling the necessity to improve myself continuously and creatively, also the desire to share the things I learnt and observed in London with all my friends and family in Taiwan, as well as to everyone, whoever is interested in creativity, different cultures...etc, all welcome to comment or discuss the topic you think is interesting with me :)

No matter it's from West or East, I believe that all creativity should be respected and encouraged, especially for the young generation. I will post article that I found interesting, informative or exciting, and raise issue which I think needed to be discussed as well.

I have shared an article about Western "Individualism" v.s Eastern "Collectivism". Interestingly, the topic of this article is "我們常愛說外國人「個人英雄主義」，但又常說「外國人比臺灣人懂得團隊合作」？"It talked about the different logic from East and West. (Highly recommended this article to Chinese reader. 強力推薦這篇文章給中文讀者) 

"Individualism" v.s "Collectivism"

The author not only raises an important problem of Chinese education, but also elaborates it with many great examples from Gandhi(甘地）,Sun Yat-sen（孫中山） and Washington（華盛頓）.

He emphasises the importance to clear the myth that Individualism (Hero) and Collectivism (Team work) are two conflicting concepts, because actually, they need to be coexisted(共存) in today's working environment.


I wrote a short note of my thought in Chinese after I read this article, and also try to recall what did I actually learn from the education I had received from age 6 to 22?

I realised that the 16 years education I received from Chinese education system doesn't really teach me how to be a critical thinker and status quo challenger. Chinese education is good at training "good students",to memorise facts and formulas, to calculate complicated numbers. But none of them is really helpful for young minds to figure out the real purposes of their studying-hard or to encourage them to explore more about their real interest and potential career choices in the future.

Looking back now, all the time, efforts and investments we/our parents/our government put in for education doesn't really make sense. I mean practically, it doesn't directly convert our painful and lengthy learning process into our competitivenesses and advantages to tackle today's rapidly changing world.

I am not the first Chinese youth who senses the big hole here in our education system which needed to be changed and improved. But the education reform which I've experienced and still happening now is certainly not strong enough.

So, forget about those politicians! We cannot reply our hope only on the government or others. This is our generation and our future. If we want something to be changed, we need to start from ourselves.

From today.
