Today, I am going to describe a famous leader in the field of technology, Linus Torvalds, the creator of the Linux Kernel,
which is the core part of the GNU/Linux operating system.
With his symbolic beard and glasses, Torvalds from Finland, has a distinctive appearance that reflects his unique personality.
His piercing eyes and chiseled features give him a commanding presence, while his casual attire showcases his down-to-earth nature.

认识途径

I first knew him from a documentary about open-source software development that I watched online last year.
As I dig deeper into software engineering, I came across his name multiple times, which piqued my interest to learn more about him.

One of my close friends, Howard, is someone I really enjoy talking with.
He is a transfer student from another high school. Some says we looks alike in the first day we became classmates.
We became friends of our own accord quickly after that.

We shared many similar interests in common, such as movies, techs and literature.
Take movies for example, we both love literary films that explore deep themes and complex characters, like In The Mood For Love.
We could not stop interchange our views on the cinematography, plot and character.

It is my honor to have Howard as my friend because he is an excellent listener and always offers thoughtful advice.
