Early life

Her father was a university teacher and her mother was a doctor. She especially liked music and writing when she was a kid. The high school teacher always used her essay as a model essay in her class. She started writing songs when she was in year 9. During her high school life, she started learning guitar by herself. Although she really likes music, she hasn't received any professional training. After high school, she was about to apply to music college, but her parents opposed. Therefore, due to her excellent results in English, she applied to Jilin International Studies University to study English.^[4]
