About my Name

I also have a non-official English name Teddy van Jerry (or just Jerry), and have teddy-van-jerry.org redirecting wqzhao.org. I was called "Jerry" due to a random assignment at Grade 1 in the elementary school. I have kept it since then because my favorite cartoon is Tom and Jerry, and I love the creativity of Jerry the mouse. "Teddy" is chosen simply because I love teddy bears. I even propose the Ted Programming Language featuring teddy bears (🧸). The middle name "van" does not represent any kind of origin. Actually, I just want to have the same middle name with one of my favorite composers, Ludwig van Beethoven.

Typesetting

I love typesetting and typography, especially TeX and LaTeX. I have been a LaTeX user since 2020 when I entered university, and has published a package to CTAN. I have also been a member of TUG (TeX Users Group) since 2024. TikZ is one of my favorite packages, which I use to create beautiful diagrams and illustrations in my papers. Check out my GitHub repo using TeX/LaTeX.

Classical Music and Opera

I am a classical music fan and opera enthusiast. My favorite composer is Richard Wagner (Bach and Tchaikovsky also play an important role in my life). I am especially fond of works rich in acoustics with passion and energy, like Musikdrama of Wagner, symphonies with choir of Beethoven and Mahler.

I started practising the violin at 7, and served as the concertmaster of Wuxi Rococo Youth Orchestra. The music education (many thanks to my teacher) plays an indispensable role in shaping my music preference.

Compositions must listen before examinations: The Ring Cycle by Wagner, Symphony No. 9 by Beethoven, and Requiem by Mozart. I am sure these long and complex works will help you to concentrate and relax (maybe excite)!
