4. Best TV series out right now? 现在最好的电视剧是哪一部?

“I Love My Family” by director Da Ying, and “The Grand Mansion Gate” by director Baogang Zhao.

5. How you discovered you were creative? 你是如何发现自己有创造力的?

I didn’t “discover” that I was more creative than other people. But perhaps living in an artistic family, where skills are passed from generation to generation, make me feel more “destined” to create.

并没有发现自己会比别人有更多的创造力,但是可能生活在一个具有家传手艺的家庭里,会比其他人多一些与生俱来的宿命和使命感吧。
