Me in a nutshell
My name is Chengyu Qiu, 邱成宇. I am born and bred in Guangzhou, China. I am currently a PhD student at Department of Civil Engineering, Monash University, Australia. I am a fanatic of Calisthenic (bodyweight workout). Played basketball and soccer throughout my middle & high school & early college, I am still a fan of these ball games although I seldom play them now.
I am fond of physical activities, hiking, cycling etc or even cooking sometimes. Movie is another thing I am into; so many have I watched that I struggle to find a fine one to enjoy from time to time.

Favourite footballer

One day I will tell my grandchildren that I trained Leo Messi. With Messi you have to speak to him in small doses and listen carefully to the little that he says. Don't write about him, don't try to understand how he does it, just watch him.
— Pep Guardiola
Messi is the best. The second best is Messi injured.
— Jorge Valdano
I don't care that Ronaldo can do 6.000 sit ups, he'll never be as good as Messi.
— Steve Nash
If you can't link up well with Messi, then football is not for you.
— Xavi Hernandez
Once they said they can only stop me with a pistol. Today you need a machine gun to stop Messi.
— Hristo Stoichkov
Favourite basketball players
Active player: Kawhi Leonard
NBA world champion × 2, NBA Finals MVP × 2, DPOY × 2, NBA 1st or 2nd team of the year × 3, NBA defensive 1st or 2nd team × 5, NBA all-star team × 4
Leonard's mid-range jump shot, defence, and mental toughness easily reminds people of Michael Jordan and Kobe Bryant


Retired player: Tim Duncan
NBA world champion × 5, NBA Finals MVP × 3, NBA MVP × 2, NBA 1st or 2nd team of the year × 15, NBA defensive 1st or 2nd team × 15, NBA all-star team × 15
19 years career in one team San Antonio Spurs
Known for his post-up footworks, dominance at both offensive & defensive ends, leadership, consistency, and selflessness, Duncan is the best power forward of all time.
