Haoyan came from Shanghai, A.L.A.
Hitch-hiked his way across the U.S.A.
Dumped his violin on the way
Put on white glasses and then she was a he
He says, hey babe, take a walk on the wild side
Said, hey honey, take a walk on the wild side…
From a young age, Haoyan Zhang could pick up any number of three objects and throw them around in a cyclic manner. He was a juggling prodigy. This natural knack for throwing and catching things led him to a nation-wide tour in beer halls and state fairs across the country. But unfortunately after a near fatal flaming corn cob incident at the Iowa State fair, Haoyan was lucky to leave the maize with his life.
After many red barren years of riding off the high of his juggling days, Haoyan began to show signs of artistic talent and language comprehension at the age of 19. With pressure from his parents to become a doctor, lawyer or a combinational doctor/lawyer hybrid who operates by day and takes on the law by night, Haoyan dismissed their flights of fancy and chose instead the beaten path of an artist.
Haoyan, back when he was a Sagittarius, soon became the stunned recipient of 2 participatory awards from the Alabama Youth Symphony, also known as the prestigious “Perfect Attendance” award. Additionally his drawing of a “Giraffe” won his middle school art fair and is now prominently displayed above the stool apparatus in the downstairs bathroom of his parent’s home in Norfolk, Virginia. Today, Haoyan is still best known as the brother of author & cavaleira, Frisbee Jackson. Rumors circulating online in the pretend world of the computer internet claim the two have become estranged due to Haoyan’s deep-seated jealously toward his obviously more talented sister, but these rumors are completely baseless.
In 2004, Haoyan started a foundation to equip the children of the starving continent of Africa with the latest in video and computer equipment. The foundation, Computer Resources for Africa’s Poor, established the first wireless network in the tribal lands of the Ulawa Kutaw, making it the only village in the Eastern region of Malawi to have a wireless network, while lacking a functional plumbing system. However, Zhang does not like to tout his philanthropic side, evidenced by his frequent anonymous donations to the clear glass donation case located in the of the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City.
