Peter J. GU , with the nickname as Junjun, was born in Suzhou, a famous ancient city that is known as the Venice in East Asia. He enjoys the city and its atmosphere there. The beautiful sight and well-designed ancient gardens bring him the spirit of Jiangnan, a virtue that tells people to be modest and honest.

Peter started his interest of English since the very early days when he was still a boy of eight, some books left by his grandpa that were written in English drove him the original interest on the study of language. During his study experience, he was affected by Mr. Fei, a young English teacher in Suzhou No. 21 Middle School at that time. Under his help, Peter’s interest on this language is further promoted. In the following three years in high school, he started to listen to the VOA News, a sufficient way that promoted his listening capability. After entering the college, his interest on this language remains, but different from that of high school, Peter started to use this language but rather than to learn that only.

Computer science is the other hobby for Peter. Since the first glance at an old 286 computer when registering for a typing course in a regional younger’s palace, he was gradually interested in this machine. He started his study on computer with typing letters only for nearly two years. Then he started to take some courses on MS-DOS, WPS and some basic theories. He started his first attempt on programming from FoxBASE and later from FoxPro, a very early kind of data management system that runs on DOS and Windows 3.2 respectively. In his three years in high school, he followed Mr. Hu, a computer teacher, and learned some basics of PASCAL, an old programming language that let him understand the basis on formal programming.

While, the course of the true love never runs smoothly.  Both English and computer science remain to be his hobbies but rather than his majors. Admittedly, it is the early study of computer science and English in his early ages bring him great benefit and convenience to his present study. The solid foundation on English that was formed during the past decades enables Peter good competence on writing English papers and reviewing contemporary researches from top international journals, and his basic training on programming brings him great convenience on the usage of statistical packages for empirical researches.
