My name is Liu Hanyu (lit., cold rain). I come from a town where, in many winters, the west wind brings copious water vapor from the Bay of Bengal, drenching the city with perpetual precipitation.
I was at Fudan University, the University of Western Australia (exchange) and UCL before coming to Storrs. What lured me into linguistics at an early age was historical phonology, and I’ve enjoyed the collateral games along the way.
For hedonism, I binge-watch TV shows, stream POV drives, and daydream living in some fiction. Geography is always important in my story-telling. I try to learn more, so I can use my imagination more freely.
