About this Website

Apart from this page, this website is mainly a personal blog of mine. I would share my passion in Bridge, Music, Books, Football(Soccer/Calcio), Snooker, and lots of other daily interesting stuff. You may browse them by categories here.

More About Me

I am decorated Bridge player. Having started learning bridge since 2011, I participated in countless tournaments and achieved multiple awards. My biggest awards include China U21 Champion in 2017, Runner-up in Junior group at Asian Bridge Congress, and twice the 3rd place in Junior United States Bridge Championship in 2022 and 2024. I also represented China U21 Team in 2016 World Youth Bridge Team Championship.

Bridge is a life-long passion for me that sharpens my fast-paced real-time analysis, decision making, and game strategies. It gives me invaluable treasure of Partnership, Teamwork, and Friendship.

I am also passionate about using data science method on improving bridge bidding and playing strategies. My Bachelor thesis was on improving hand evaluation method by regression analysis.

I come from a family of teachers and I love teaching. I have been teaching bridge at my high school club, community clubs, online, and University of Michigan Club. I was also a tutor and teaching assistant for a programming and Informatics Olympiads training camp, where our graduates turned out to be competition gold medalists.

I love music, especially pop songs and ballads in Mainland China, Hong Kong, and Taiwan.

I am a die-hard fan of AC Milan, Forza Milan! I enjoy watching European football in general.

I follow Snooker closely, and am fan of Si Jiahui. I also enjoy applying analytics on sports, here is an example on snooker.

I love reading. My favorite authors are Yu Hua and Italo Calvino.

I am huge fan of Paradox Interactive grand strategy games, especially HOI4 and EU4, which intensified my interest in history in general. I like explore alternative history scenarios, in particular Kaiserreich, which I wrote about here.

P.S.

Ciao a tutti. I migrated all my stuff written on https://yfq32.wordpress.com to here, cuz I think it looks better and does not have ads.

Basically there were two articles I written in 2019 (about Italo Calvino and Fabio Carli (花比傲)), a short personal story from 2018, and many interesting ones since Feb 2023.

Enjoy.
