WRITING A BIOGRAPHY. Clara T. (1BTX B)

Biography: My dad

Shuo Tang Yu was born in Anhui, China on 2 December 1955. He used to live with his mom in a poor neighborhood next to a paper factory. As a kid, he would go to school and meet with his friends, who still keep in contact with each other nowadays.

My dad spent his childhood going to school and by the time he was 10 years old he realized he wasn’t doing good enough in important subjects like math or literature. It was then when he discovered that his true talent and passion was drawing. No sooner had he left school that he was already dreaming of becoming an artist so he pursued this dream for years.

At the age of 21, he got a scholarship for Beijing’s art university, that was what he wanted since the beginning. He had just got his degree on graphic design when he got a job as a typographer in a publishing house. But everything changed when he decided to move to Spain. When my dad has something in mind he does everything he can to achieve it and so he did. He started to take Spanish lessons in his free time and after a few years he finally moved here.

As soon as he arrived, he started looking for a place to work and he found one in an art shop in Diagonal Mar. That was where my mom was working and after they met each other they started dating and they eventually married.


What i admire about my dad is that he’s a very decided and ambitious person and he also knows a lot about how to achieve the goals you set for yourself. He always knows how to give me advice because he has been through a lot of tough moments in his life and he’s always there to help me. He’s a very inspiring person and definitely my role model.
