Yulianna Avdeeva, the champion in 2010 Chopin Piano Competetion, came to National Taiwan University in April 2014.

Piano Playing

I started learning to play the piano since 10 years old. Although without a teacher after 15, I still kept practicing until now. Chopin is my favorite artist, I play his songs most of the time. I performed on the stage more than 30 times in my college years. The photo is taken in December 2013, in National Taiwan University of Science and Technology, where I was performing Ballade 4, op. 52. Barcorolle, op. 60 is another my favorite.

Marathon

I started road running in April 2013, for the purpose of losing weight. I enjoyed swimming and biking in my high school and undergraduate years, however I seldom exercise since being a master student. Currently I have completed half marathon (21.1km) three times , with the best record of 2 hours and 24 minutes achieved in February 2014. My current goal is to complete half marathon within 2 hours in this year, and challenge the full marathon in 2015.
