R M R--Rom's Brief Biography

R is the first letter of my family name, and also it is the first letter in my nick name, Rom.

My name is Meng Ren, but in the Chinese way everyone calls me Ren Meng. Generally, People around me think that my given name sounds special.The reason should be back to the day I was born. My first name Meng was given by my maternal grandfather in order to respect one of Chinese national minorities--- the Mongolian, so it is not only unique, but also meaningful.

Although my family have some relationships with the Mongolian, I actually come from Xi’an which is the most beautiful and established city in China. It has become the capital city for six dynasties during the Ancient Chinese history and is also famous of the best preserved Chinese city walls.

However, there is no proof to say that I myself used to be the person as established as the city walls in my hometown. Why should I claim so? For the past 10 years, I have transferred several times no matter in the primary school or university because I am the kind of people willing to challenge different situations and solve problems by use the knowledge I have learnt. That is why I prefer to come to UD, as well as the US.

Obviously, when starting my life in the US, I will face varies kinds of hardships which I never met in China. But with optimistic hope and opening mind, it is considering that stable friendships will be made with my American peers, who also like basketball, reading and classic music.
