Tan is a Singaporean studying Chinese Literature at Peking University who also explored a bit of philosophy and decided that abstract understanding isn’t for her, and is instead interested in issues of race, discrimination and marginalization. Studies a bit of literature, history, comparative philosophy, comparative literature, religion, ethnic issues, poverty, et cetera. To sum up, a jack of some traits who is presently master of none, but is also still exploring and learning about herself and the world. While fortunate enough to not have been heavily marginalized, she feels for those who have been or are going through discriminations, especially the voiceless and helpless, and hopes to be able to live life not just for herself, but for these people as well.
