Larry Tang is a sophomore at Cal High. This is his first year as a Staff Writer for The Californian. A self-proclaimed intellectual and polyglot, he is well versed in philosophy and history and speaks fluent English, Mandarin, and some Latin. Larry plays the cello for the Chamber Orchestra and plays the baritone horn for the Cal High Marching Band. In his free time, he likes listening to and composing music (his favorite genre is world folk music) and giving himself (and others) existential crises because it gives him a sense of superiority. This year, he hopes to channel his passions into his writing and one day,  produce the greatest works of literature ever written… or become Emperor of the Universe.
