Born in 1995, Xinxin Din lives in Hangzhou, China. She studied oil painting as an undergraduate in Qingdao, China, and went on to earn a Master's degree in Art History in Florence, Italy. Xinxin has noticed that it's quite common for young people in China to get their first pets after moving out on their own, even if they lead busy lives. They often seek emotional support and companionship while facing the challenges of independence and stress. At the same time, navigating social interactions in this phase of life makes them more aware of who they are and how they've grown.
