self-introduction

My name is Qigang Li, and my English name is Augustus. Augustus  is the first king of Rome and resourceful. Also his foster father is Caesar who is one of the greatest Roman in our mind. So, that is why I choose Augustus to be my English name.

After I graduated from my country, I have came to Seattle, where is like my hometown, Shanghai. I love this city, because of the air  here is very clean, without haze, and the sky here is very blue.
