Self Description: God has given me a curious and warm heart. In my daily life, I am an agricultural scientist who wears a straw hat while studying crop growth in the fields, using data to fight against hunger; after taking off my lab coat, I become a food traveler with a backpack, chasing sunsets and collecting the world's warmth with my taste buds. I believe that life is like an ear of wheat�those that are fullest bow their heads the lowest. Although I love to laugh and joke around (my friends say my big dimples when I smile are like the coconut milk on top of mango sticky rice), I value those quiet moments of embrace even more.

Comments: You don't need to understand photosynthesis like I do, but I hope your hands are like the soil I study, warm and steady. We can wrap ourselves in pink snow in Hokkaido at dawn, and by evening, wander through Yunnan's markets picking out wild mushrooms. You'll be the first to pop the new strawberry variety I bred into your mouth, and I'll surprise you with a homemade lunch when you're stuck working late. Most importantly, you believe that "we love each other, as God loves the world" willing to start each day with a morning kiss and seal every night with a warm embrace. When I've been hunched over the microscope too long, you'll place your palm gently on my aching neck�better than any massage device ever could be. P.S. If you also believe that "guys must push the supermarket cart, but ice cream should always be double scoops" is universal truth, then let our story begin with a simple, "Emmanuel."
