Looking to the future, Stormie expressed his excitement about the possibility of competing in China, where he hopes to experience even more cross-cultural interactions firsthand. For young professionals and tech enthusiasts, his story is a reminder that the digital realm offers endless opportunities—both on the screen and in real life.
