woman's personal value, charm, intelligence, independence and
passion.

My Aunt Shuqin has had the most influence in my life. She is an

and I learned to look at the world with love and appreciation.

My proudest personal accomplishment is appreciating life. I always

I appreciate my parents bringing me to Canada this beautiful diverse
country, where no dream is out of reach.

My career ambition is to be passionate, thankful, and happy in
my professional life. I'm pursuing a degree in Dietetics and Nutrition,
and at the same time I invest lots of time in fashion and dance.
I always believe that I can find a perfect way to combine nutrition
and fashion, and lead people to find a fashionable, healthy and
happy lifestyle in the fast changing society.
Describe where you were
raised and what your childhood was like.
I was raised in a beautiful small city in China. I'm the only
child in my family, and my childhood was surrounded by family
and friends. I spent most of my weekends and summer days practicing
dance and piano. I loved to play with my friends in my neighbourhood
after school, and I especially liked to play hula-hoop to see
if I could keep it on my waist and never fall off to the floor.
List any interesting or
unusual jobs you may have had.
It is really fun to be a dance teacher for children. I have to
learn how to make them excited about dancing but not too much
to make the whole class out of control. one of the funniest thing
I remember is I had to ask a 6 years old boy dance with a group
of 6 years old girls , because there wasn't enough girls in the
class . His move was so good that I couldn't really tell there
was a boy dancing among the girls when they were wearing the same
costumes.
List any volunteering you
have done.
I was a volunteer in the Maple Leaf World Diving Competition 2008,
it was a great experience, and I got the chance to meet the top
divers from all over the world.
In the past three years, I've been volunteering throughout my
community on weekends, helping out the seniors involved in community
actives, and organizing fundraising events.
Where is the most interesting
place you have been?
I haven't done much international travelling so far. I'd love
to see more parts of the world. At the same time, I'm really proud
of my hometown Montreal. So for now the most interesting place
I've been must be Vieux-port de Montreal. The Vieux-port has a
traditional Quebecois atmosphere and is filled with history. The
breathtaking weekly fireworks, beautiful souvenir shops, romantic
night life, various restaurants and outdoor entertainment make
the Vieux-port a wonderful place all the time. It is also a nice
place to relax. I love to go there to take a break from the busy
downtown streets, to enjoy the view onto the St Laurent River,
to feel the calm peace.
What makes you unique and
different from the other contestants?
I personally think I have the most charming smile; it comes from
deep in my heart. I want to give this simile to everyone whom
I meet in my life and the people I might or might not meet in
the future as a precious gift. It contains the ability of loving,
sharing, understanding, and the will to build the world friendship
bridge with 6 billion people in the world.
What is your philosophy
of/in life?
Don't predict the future; we are the ones to create the future.
No matter how high the sky is, as long as we tried our best, we
can always reach the sunshine.
What do you hope to be
doing in 10 years?
I hope I can continue to study Health and Nutrition while staying
involved in the field of fashion and entertainment. I'm willing
to embrace the ones who need help, share my knowledge and experience
with them. And finally discover a fashionable, healthy, and loving
style of life.
Is there anything
you would like to tell us about yourself? Something unique that
has happened to you? Some interesting thing about you?
Growing up in a fusion of western and eastern cultures, I'm really
grateful for the value I obtained from both great cultures. I
appreciate and cherish every single moment in my life.
I was a perfectionist, when I was little, I wouldn't go to dance
practice with even one little piece of hair not tied well, and
everything about me had to me perfect, in front of the mirror
if I couldn't dance as well as I thought I would be really sad.
The more I experienced life, gradually I got the encouragement
to tell myself "it's ok", nothing can ever be perfect,
of course we should never stop trying to do better, but as long
as we tried, there's nothing to regret.
