About Carmen 关于佳敏

Hello, My name is Carmen Xu. I’m a 27 year old girl living in Central London, studying my masters in one of the University of London at the moment, major in International Management. I am originally from Shantou, another city in Guangdong province, but much smaller and further east along the coast.

I have worked for Australian Consulates in Guangzhou for almost 2 years and I have graduated from Guangdong University of Foreign language Studies. I can speak several languages, including Mandarin, Cantonese, Chaoshanese, English, and Japanese. As my previous job, I’ve worked as a translator and interpretor for foreign companies.

I have a quick mind, lots of energy and a never-failing enthusiasm that brings me back on my feet after a fall. I have a radiant shrewdness unmatched elsewhere. I like to make people happy. For me the passion to work, life and love is always guiding me everyday.

Many friends have accompanied me through the years. Some from kindergarten till now; some are supporting me no matter where I am. I love all my friends.

Friends are like stars; you many not always see them but you know they are always there.
朋友如星辰，你不一定总能看到他们，但你知道他们总在那里。

I love listening to Jazz music and have a collection of almost a thousand CDs!

Music and book are the most important two things in one’s life.
人生不可缺少的两件东西—音乐和书.

我是命运的主人，我能驾御我的灵魂。

Always give without remembering and always receive without forgetting (From Brain Tracy)
不要记得给予多少，但紧记授予多少。

I do not believe in failure; it’s not failure if you enjoyed the process (From Oprah Winfrey)
我相信失败，如果你享受了过程，这就不算失败。

People that life in worth living and there are causes worth dying for (From Ernest Hemingway)
人活着是有价值的，总有事是值得你为它而献身。

Human life is transient, but art is immortal. “Beauty is truth, truth beauty,”—that’s all. (From John Keats)
