About me
My uncle lived with us for a while when I was around ten, he always took me to fly a kite during springtime in a park near Bayi Overbridge. I had to finish homework before leaving school, rushed home, and rode on a bicycle with him to the park. It’s never easy to fly a kite for me, but after many tries, I managed to see my kite fly to the highest height. There’s nothing else to compare the feeling of flying a kite, when your feet are firmly on the ground, and your sight and heart are up in the sky high. 脚在泥里，眼放在云端。

Category Management 1 - The Basics
As originated from retail business, Category Management (Catman) was such a keyword in the first few years of my professional career, I worked as a Category Manager for a bit in a grocery retailer in Beijing, prior to that, I spent 2 years in the Private Brand (PB) Marketing Department and that’s where I acquired the essential Catman skills.
In a few blogs, I’m summarising my understanding of Category Management in today’s world. The main purpose is actually very self-oriented - for me to refresh the memories, and hopefully through some further learning to sharpen the saw in the particular field.
