People can build different roles between online and real life, they can do some things they
really want to do on Internet. This is the biggest advantage of Internet. Now, I will
describe my persona on internet.
Firstly, I am a online journalist when I was in China, I have written some reports and news
online in past several years. Due to the reason that my bachelor background is
journalism, I like to writing and sharing ideas and thinkings with other people online.
These articles are all about politics, music and culture.
Secondly, I am a crazy fan of rock music. I also like to write some articles about rock music,
because of some reasons like political reason, rock is not very famous in China.
However, I try my best to spread and introduce rock to Chinese. This kind of music is
really fantastic, passional and engaging.
Finally, now I want to be a professional advertiser online, because journalism and
advertising are all belonged to communication. I can also find some fan in advertising.
As the famous motto from Benjamin Franklin, no president, just advertiser.
