Summer Session 2 2025:
LTCH 101 - Readings in Contemporary Chinese Literature

Born in 1991 in Beijing, came to the United States in 2016. Completed a MA in East Asian Studies at Duke University in 2018, and currently a PhD candidate in the Department of Literature at UCSD.

I am interested in Animal Studies and modern/contemporary Chinese literatures and cultures. The dissertation that I am currently working on focuses on how the non-verbal communication between humans and animals redefines the boundary of human language.
