After he was born, his parents named him "Yuehai" (pronounced as "your ad high"), which means "crossing the seas". Later, he did cross the seas and came to the US for his Master's and Ph.D. studies. Furthermore, he tries not to be confined by his little box but to think outside of it. In his studies, he always makes every effort to cross the seas of different disciplines such as composition, psychology, education, linguistics, translation, and communication...etc. In his life, he also endeavors to cross the seas of different cultures, ethnic groups, countries, perspectives, parties, and people.
