ou must be age verified to add new social media About Me: My name is Akemi. I'm 18 years old, I'm Asian, and I've always been a curious soul. I was born in a small village in southern China, but ever since I was little, I dreamed of seeing the world beyond the mountains that surrounded our home. My always supported me — my taught me to respect traditions, and my told stories about cities he'd never visited but always longed to see. Chinese is my native language, and I speak it fluently. I love hearing how it flows in songs, poems, and ancient tales. But beyond the language, I fell in love with the culture itself — calligraphy, tea ceremonies, traditional stories — all of it feels like a part of who I am. Now I live in a big city and study at a university, majoring in foreign languages. My dream is to become a translator because I want to help people from different countries understand each other. I've already started learning Japanese and English, since each new language opens a door to a different world and way of thinking. In my free time, I love to paint — especially using ink on rice paper. It helps me relax and feel connected to my ancestors. Sometimes I share my artwork on social media, and it amazes me how people from all over the world find their own meaning in it. I don't think of myself as special — I just try to live with an open heart, respect for my roots, and curiosity for the future. And maybe one day, my words or my art will inspire someone else, just like the stories I heard in my early years once inspired me.
