Ariel Wang (王馨玥)

Hello🌸! I’m Ariel, the owner of this little corner of the internet, and welcome to my website (English version)!

My name is Ariel Wang, with my Chinese name being 王馨玥 (pinyin: Wang Xinyue, pronunciation: [wɑ̌ŋ ɕín ɥ̂ø] in mandarin Chinese or [vũ̩³³ ɕiŋ⁵³ ɦyøʔ⁵⁵] in Shanghainese).

Xin means “fragrance,” like the sweet scent of blooming flowers. Yue refers to a celestial pearl, a rare gem symbolizing mystery and beauty. That’s why my name is Xinyue~ hhh ✨

I was born in Shanghai, the most dreamlike wonderful city in China. I am native in both Shanghainese and Mandarin Chinese; my English is quite decent but remember that it’s still a foreign language for me QwQ (though I kindly ask native readers to forgive any unclear parts lol😭). Besides these, I’ve also learned un petit peu Français.

I’m a bit of a mixed bag—a hardcore internet native, hopelessly addicted to the online world. I’m into tons of games like Minecraft, Terraria, and War Thunder, and yes, I’m a devoted Touhou fan.

Back in high school, I used to write ancient Chinese poetry (not to brag, but I thought I was pretty good!). Sadly, my literary skills have tanked over the years… now I can barely string a verse together 😭.

I also love diving into “magic books” at the Library of Touhou Koumakyou (yes, I said what I said 🪄).

Currently, I’m just a math and CS undergrad trying to SURVIVE, with three adorable cats to keep me company. Meow~ Besides my kittens and majors, I also have a general interest in chemistry～

This blog is my little playground where I post for fun! It’s full of quirks and imperfections, so please forgive the mess (I’m trying my best, okay? 🥲).

If you have any questions, suggestions, or just want to chat, feel free to reach out! I’d love to hear from you. (●ˇ∀ˇ●) 💌

I used to have a strong inclination towards traditional Chinese poetry in my high school years (see my poems). I am a disciple of Friedrich Hayek and the Austrian school of economics (see my blog).
