My parents divorced when I was 4 years old, so I live with my mother and my grandparents. All of my family are working for the art and film. My grandfather is a film director who devoted most of his life into the spreading of Chinese Opera movie. My mother is a film editor. When I was only 100 days of birth, I was in a crew and played a little part in a film. Later when growing up, I was fond of photography, and became a chairwoman in the Photography Association in our high school and was one of the founders of the alliance of Photography Association in Zhengzhou’s high school. I am also fond of listening to music. Adam Young is my favorite musician. I think he is so talented and special. Two of his band, Port Blue and Owl City both attract me a lot. In my spare time, reading novels is my hobby. Recently, I am reading a collection of short stories called The Garden Party and Other Stories by Katherine Mansfield, a female New Zealander. It is really an excellent book.
My past
A view of No.1 Middle School of Zhengzhou
Photographer: Lujia Wang
I just graduated from No.1 Middle School of Zhengzhou. I lived on campus with my four closest roommates in our dormitory. Because four of us are both higher than 172cm which is far higher over the beverage of the height of the girls in our class, my classmates called our dormitory ”The Home of Long Legs” jokingly. We had a lot of interesting events those three years like the volleyball competition, the chorus competition, the musical drama performance. Our association had hold the photographic exhibition once a year.

Anyway, I really spent a wonderful three years in my high school with warmly teachers, friendly mates, five ducks, three gooses, two turtles, one cat, and several fish in our school.
My future
The Ohio State University has one of the biggest campus in the United States and the diversity of students attracts me a lot. The most important reason I choose OSU is that the major of Computer Science and Technology is excellent in OSU, which is also the major I plan to study after several months. I found out that the tendency of film makings rely more and more on technology. For instance, CG (Computer Graphics) is largely used in films to make a 3D effect. Even the cinemas have more and more IMAX now. That is the reason why I plan to major in Computer Science and Engineering. On the one side, I can learn the basic programming knowledge and skills. Also, I want to participate into the research and development of advanced technologies like special-effects, virtual reality, and holographic laser projection and so on.

Hello Lujia!
It’s funny that your friends called your dorm the Home of The Long Legs. You are taller than me too! You’re about 15cm taller than I am! I’m half Filipino and half Caucasian though. If you really love photography you should look into the OSU Photography Enthusiasts Club! I also really like Adam Young, he is very talented, you should check out some songs by Jay Brannan, you might like him! Here’s a link for the OSU Photography CLub: http://ohiounion.osu.edu/get_involved/student_organizations/directory?org_id=4802
Best of luck with your studies!
