About me

 * I was born and brought up in Shandong, China, and now I live in New York.
 * I am male, in the ages between 20 and 30.
 * I would not disclose my name until I feel comfortable to do so.
 * I am mainly active on Chinese Wikipedia and I was an administrator there.
 * I also hold accounts and edit at Commons, Meta, Foundation, English Wikinews, Chinese Wikisource, and Chinese Wikinews.

About my user name

 * Roc is a legendary bird of enormous size and strength&mdash;a monster with wings. Its Chinese equivalent, described in Zhuang Zi, is the titanic bird peng transformed from a gigantic fish kun that lived in the sea north of China; this bird resembles the great Taoist philosopher's ultimate dream of freedom.
 * "roc"/"ROC" is my long-standing pseudonym on Internet. When I was registering at Wikipedia in 2004, both spellings were taken, so I inserted two dots in "ROC", creating name "R.O.C". I later realized that this name can be confused with the abbreviation of the "Republic of China", but it was too late for me to change the username.
