Introduction from Shiyu Guo

Hello everyone！I am Guo Shiyu. My major is accounting and I will choose Japanese as my minor. I am also a MMC scholar. In the last 18 years, I lived in Shenyang, an advanced industrial city, which is located in the Northeast of China. After a 15 hours voyage, I finally arrived in Columbus, where I will begin my future study.

I come from a happy three people family. My father is a man of accuracy and strict method. Furthermore, he does everything with patience. His attitude has contributed to the formation of my careful personality. Although my dad is such a serious man, my mom is an optimist woman. She is the CFO of a Korean company and has a strong interest in business. Under her influence, I choose accounting as my major. Even though my parents’ personalities are so different, they can understand each other and communicate very well.

I love appreciating paintings and drawing. Paintings make my life more colorful and meaningful. A masterpiece can make me think a lot. When I saw the Guernica of Picasso, I could imagine the suffering of the people under the fascism and gratitude for my life; when I saw the Water lilies of Monet, I could almost feel the peace and beauty and be thank to the generosity of nature; when I saw the Self-Portrait with Bandaged Ear and Pipe of Vincent Willem Van Gogh, I could touch his inner heart and feel his depression. My own drawing is another kind of enjoyment. Placing myself at a comfortable position, I always feel calm and relaxed when I spread my feeling over a piece of empty white paper with a colorful black pencil.

When I was in high school, I read a finance book about the Rothschild Family. It makes me curious about how can they get so much money and have such influence on the world. As a result, I search business news and continue read business points of Lang Xianping’s. Finally, with the encouragement of my parents, I choose accounting as my major and goal for working in some Investment Companies like Morgan Stanley. In the future, I want to use my knowledge and experiences as a bridge to connect the economy communication between American and China.
