My name is Peixian Li. I come from Peking University, CHINA. I am at present a first year graduate student in the Department of Computer Science, working hard for my Ph.D. degree (Master first, of course). 

August 19th, 1999, A group of 15 Chinese Students landed on the continent of America. After about 16 hours' oversea travel, we were all very tired. Fortunately, the Chinese people here gave us new UVA students lots of help. They hosted us for about a week till all of us found our places to live. They did a lot for us, but asked for nothing. We highly appreciate their help and kindness. Next year, I will try my best to help those new UVA Chinese students. It is a warm family here 

I grew up in a small city in the east of Guangxi Province. This beautiful city is Wuzhou. I spoke Cantonese there. When I was 18 years old, I was admitted by Peking University, one of the best universities in China. I studied in the Department of Computer Science & Technology. After four years' toil and sweat, I graduated with honor. Now I am in the United States, a country with the world's most advanced technologies, seeking greater challenge and success. 

I like sports: swimming, badminton, volleyball, biking ... especially soccer. I have been trained in high school's volleyball team for 6 years, so I can play volleyball quite well. I have many other hobbies, such as music, making friends, chatting, travelling, and games. 

My family and my friends, thank you very much. I am sorry I am not able to contact you frequently, but I really miss you all.
