About Hegwin and His Dream

The Astronomer's Dream

When I was young, I never imagined that I would one day sit in front of a computer and write codes.

Like most kids in China, we all dreamed of becoming scientists, and for me, the dream was to become an astronomer. I always hoped that one day I would be able to name a star with my name.

Translator or Chemist or Writer?

When you grow up, however, it's easy to forget your original dreams.

During my years in junior middle school, I loved English very much. And I told everyone I wanted to be a translator or interpreter.

Did I really like English, or is it just a result of hypnosis - you have good performance in a subject, and your parents and teachers appreciate you and your classmates admire you so that you have more passion and then get a higher grade - leading to a positive cycle?

Things changed again since I entered the high middle school. Chemistry turned to be my favourite subject. I enjoyed doing experiments in the lab.

Well, I also found myself involved in the literature.

Childhood Dream That Didn't Come True

NEMT is a cruel struggle for each high school graduate in China. But followed that, there is something else make you headache -- to make a decision for you major subject in the coming four or five years.

The huge list of majors can hardly confuse me, because I knew what I wanted to select.

But there were still something scared my soul. I remember I was choked just as I saw that item -- Astronomy.

Wow, for how many years have I put this dream aside? I felt in dark gray not for my score prevented me to apply astronomy, but for how could I forget my dreams.

From Chemist To Programmer

Now, I have been a rubyist for nearly 3 years. I like writing codes. Maybe I will continue coding until someday we no more need this job.

I majored applied chemistry in university. I like chemistry, yes, at least in middle school. But the regime and teaching style of university made me lose interests of chemistry.

During my second year of university, I learnt VB Programming, which opened a door to the world of codes for me.

I try to organize the steps how human solve the problems and to tell the computers by writing codes. I can't be more excited when I saw the right result jumping out of the screen.

Imcomplete Rainbow But Miscellaneous

For some reasons I will not live a common life as a normal person, like the rainbow lacking one band of color. Anyway, it's still colorful, isn't it?

I am managing to live a colorful life.

I keep learning. I do love translation -- no longer for high scores in school -- since it's really interesting to break the walls between the people from different backgrounds.

I attempt to achieve every idea and dream. I begin to learn to play the piano. And I begin to erect this website for me.

Wish for a life without regrets!
