Yifan

Yifan is my son. He was born on June 2, 2007, and now he is still younger than one year. He is a new addition to the family, and we (Wendy and I) love him so much. This is the small corner of this blog dedicated to him to record his life, and to record my changed life because of the arrival of him. Yifan, we love you.
