Biography

1. Introduction

I'm Zuofen. I come from China. I was born in a rural village in 1976. When I was a child, I had many friends to play with. We played on the field growing with grass and little wild flowers. There was no kindergarten in the village. Before we went to school, nature was the playground. Until now, I can recall the smell of field air mixed with green grass.

My parents were farmers. The farm's beautiful scenes of yellow canola, golden wheat and rice were much impressed on me, as well as my parents' hard work. I more and more understand the feelings between a farmer and the earth. Farmers sowed the seeds, and enjoyed the harvest. No pain, no gain. My parents always told me.

2. Family

I have one brother and one sister. I'm the youngest child. I'm always loved by all of them. I spent a happy childhood. Nowadays I also try to bring a happy childhood of freedom and creativity to my child. The love from the family in childhood will warm up the whole life.

I went to a boarding middle school and then a boarding high school. The schools were more and more far away. In middle school, I came back home once a week by a 6 km trek. In high school, I came back home once a month by a 30 km bus ride. In the boarding schools, I learned how to take care of myself and become independent. 

At that time, China had a planned economy, no market economy yet. Most families were not rich. But my parents did their best to support me. They were proud of my excellent performance in school.
