Fairness is not sought. It is due.

The word "Fitting" coerces us to be settled; "staying out" defines us as an outlier. We are all trapped upon an endless tower so that no one could ever question the judges. Who owned the pen that wrote this dictionary? Are they enough to define us? 

I was born in a country with ideological rigidity phenomenons, and people are self-locked in their traditions and conventional deportment. Gays are treated with electricity to correct the illness of loving people with same-gender identities; Intersex people are regarded as grotesque; celebrities die with enormous pressure from public opinions, so it's been a challenging job for LGBTQ+ propagandists in these years, and I was one of them. I kept asking for fairness these years, but there were still only a few responses, no matter how loud I was. So I started to realise that the things we've been told bay by day since we were born and the educated subconscious of defining something as heterogenous should be the ancestral sin.

For future work, I can speak three Asian languages, including Chinese, Japanese and Korean; they will help appeal to students who come from Asia. I can't carry a great ideal by myself as an ordinary student. The things I can do are negligible, but I am ready to learn and change In a better environment with my passions to explore an equal world.
