Hi, welcome to here!
My name is Wen Ruiyang, but most of my international friends call me “Veryoung” due to the pronunciation.
My Italian friends tend to call me “Giovanni,” which means “young” in Italian.
Interestingly, the last word of my name “Yang” sounds like “sheep” in Chinese, which inspired the logo for this website — a sheep (me) resting peacefully in its nest.
Thanks for visiting, the website is still under construction, so I hope you’ll visit again in the future.

“How old are you, Fransis?"
“I’m 20, sir.”
“Awfully young to be giving up on your dreams, aren’t you?”
— The greatest game ever played
I really like my nick name, “Veryoung,” and it reminds me of a movie, The Greatest Game Ever Played.
I hope we can always keep a youthful heart, remain curious about everything, and continue exploring the world with wonder.
