Life Map
There are few things in my life that I can foretell but constant change is one that I can absolutely guarantee. In 2004 a huge change happened in my life: I crossed the Equator and jumped onto a whole new land: Australia. But the transformation is far more complex and tremendous than the flight path shows. As soon as I stepped off the airplane I felt overwhelmed by a new language and the culture which left no time to prepare my mind. Standing in the famous Queensland sunshine, I was totally lost. Until, at last, one building caught my eyes: I was so excited and happy, just like the sailor finding his lighthouse or the Chinese finding Chairman Mao. It was the Creative Industries Precinct, my faculty building. I was already familiar with it because I had witnessed its building process on-line for the last year while I was still in China. I couldn’t deny that part of the reason I chose QUT was because I had worked out that I would be in the first group of students using this new modern building. New lecture rooms, new theatres, new computer labs and my dream computer: Apple Macs. It’s just so great.
