Hello folks, I am using this page as a place to practice my writing skills in English. At the same time, what I will write about on this page is totally random, and can be about anything, including my political opinions, personal experiences, random thoughts, or my recent life. I know not a lot of people will get a chance to view this page anyway, so I'd like to make it public.

I am new to Wikipedia's editing format for now, so I need some time and experiences to learn and get used to it. After populating my user page, I can say that I will be addicted to editing Wikipedia soon. The way content on Wikipedia is organized is very "scientific", that every piece of information can be traced back to its original mentioning on the web. It's quite new to me, but I feel like this is the right way to edit an encyclopedia, for which reason I would very much like to learn. Just as I was typing previous sentence, the editor gave errors when I typed "I'd". That might because for scientific or academic English writing such acronym is prohibited.

My Experience with Wikipedia
Why not start with how my relationship with Wikipedia started. Before I entered middle school, I always knew something called "Wikipedia" or "维基百科" as the Chinese word that was in my brain at that time, but never used it in practice. I knew it was some kind of Encyclopedia thing similar to "百度百科", Wikipedia's counterpart on the Internet in GFW. It was after I entered middle school and owned my first laptop, when I really got to use Wikipedia.

Obviously, the Chinese Wikipedia was already banned in China at that time, so I could only access it by changing the  file. Within the first few days after I gained access, I had already gone through all the pages that the Chinese government did not want Chinese people to see, including Tiananmen Square Massacre, Falun Gong, Tank man, etc.
