::'''A''': I'll anticipate to help fighting vandalism. In addition, I will try to unprotect pages which have been protected unreasonably for a long time.

:'''2.''' Of your articles or contributions to Wikipedia, are there any about which you are particularly pleased, and why?

::'''A''': I think '''[[Sun Yat-sen]]''' is my most-pleased contribution to Wikipedia. 2 months ago, I receivedspot a project from another user ([[user:Borisblue|Borisblue]]) ,who doesn't know Chinese, whichis requireshiring a Cantonese man to improve this biography. EventuallyI volunteered, and eventually, the article was expanded, split into sections, given more and more contexts, and later on even exploded out a section into another separate article! Per the advice of the Boris, I put the article onto [[WP:PR]] and later [[WP:FAC]]. In the FAC, many objections were raised and a big number of improvements were made. Now, the article is a featured article which is going to appear on the Main Page on 8 October. This article pleased me so much because this is the FA which I put the most amound of time and efforts into. It really pleased me much.

:'''3.''' Have you been in any conflicts over editing in the past or do you feel other users have caused you stress? How have you dealt with it and how will you deal with it in the future?

::'''A''': It was in June when I first encountered an FAC of the article [[Hong Kong]]. As it was the first FAC that I did anything with, I simply didn't know the rules and made tens of people angry. '''Hereby, I apologize for all those faults I made 3 months ago, and hope those I've made angry in June can support me''' by observe the fact that I've personally successfully nominated 2 articles into FA which is a sign showing I understand the rules now. In the end, with the help of a certain number of helpful users who explained me with all those rules, I gradually learnt to observe the rules. These days, edit conflicts seldom reach me anymore, but in case it does, I'll convert wars on article namespace to debates on talk namespace and seek for concensus. If a concensus is really unreachable, I can give up my own opinions and let the other side keep their edits.

::'''A'''.
