Who am I

My name is Liu Yifei, born and grown up in Beijing China. Most of people give their first impression to me as a shy, stable and conservative girl, but words taken back after a long-term companion. This is me, a girl with external meticulousness and internal determination. Personally, speaking on public is always the last thing I would do in my whole life, even till now, after several times trial. You can hardly begin to imagine how upset and nervous I was when chosen to be the contestant in a high school speech contest held in Beijing in 2005. Rehearsal had been done for millions of times, both the speech and the foreseeable failure in my presentation. Even though there was no way that any words could be forgotten technically, I still sensed the tense silence if my mind was blank unexpectedly. However when I walked up on the stage, the blank, as I had already predicted, was not about the forgotten phrases, but concentration that let go of all the fears and trust myself that I could do that. First time it was that I found myself so determined when encountered difficulties and this new exploration of myself really add more confidence to my further participation in speech and presentation. For the sake of the same reason, I decide to challenge myself to have college study overseas. I can imagine how miserable I could be when getting stuck in culture conflict, how helpless to be away from my dear family and friends in China. Even till now I cannot figure out the way to cope with them, but it worth a try. Just like the way I did on the stage, I believe in myself and the possibility of being a more independent and educated person by the means of my four-year hard work and persistence.
