About Me — Iris Luo
The true nobility is in being superior to your previous self. —Ernest Hemingway
Hello everyone! I am Iris, from China. For the past 13 years, I have been working in real estate operations and have gained a wealth of experience in analysing company operational data, project management and cross-team collaboration.
Last year, I decided to leave my familiar field and become a freelancer, opening up a lifestyle that is closer to my heart. Now, I like to record my hobbies, travels and life lessons on Medium to share and explore new possibilities.
I have a warm little princess in my life — my four-year-old daughter. She brings me unlimited inspiration and joy, and makes me re-examine life and understand myself. To be honest, my child has taught me much more than I ever imagined.
Growing up with her has taught me many new skills. We’ve learned new skills together, re-watched my favourite childhood cartoons together, cultivated mushrooms and even got me brave enough to learn to skateboard and rollerblade! We read and travelled together, and she taught me how to observe the world, how to be curious about everything, and how to simply enjoy the moment.
I love all things beautiful and hope I can contribute something to beauty as well. In my spare time, I indulge in the practice of calligraphy and yoga. There are many similarities between the two — in the rhythm of movement and breathing, I feel a balance between mind and body that brings strength and serenity to life.
On Medium, I write on topics ranging from art, parenting, life, and travel.
- As a calligraphy teacher, I share the professional calligraphy system I’ve built with readers who love art, and explore more ways of expression by combining creativity with calligraphy and painting.
- As a mother, I enjoy distilling life insights from the daily routine of parenting, recording the small wisdom I learnt from my daughter, and sharing them with parents who have similar experiences.
- In addition, I will recommend my favourite books and record what I see and hear during my travels — such as the freedom in the natural scenery of New Zealand, the immersive experience in Japanese anime culture, and the humanistic customs in various parts of China. These precious memories of my journey are the beauty I want to pass on through words.
I hope to share not only knowledge and experience, but also my love of life. May I continue to discover and create on my journey of growth, encouraging myself and readers to explore more possibilities of life together.
Thank you for coming to my homepage, may my stories bring you a touch of warmth and inspiration.
