ARTISTIC STATEMENT | 创作理念
I was raised by science fiction and theater, even if they’re rarely caught in the same room. I believe that speculative worldbuilding is a perfect vehicle to distance, deconstruct, and dissect modern issues; through alienation, à la Brecht, we might uncover secrets otherwise obscured by the trappings of proximity and realism. Endlessly inspired by the works of writers like Ken Liu, Octavia E. Butler, and Ursula K. Le Guin, I aspire to subvert traditional, white-dominated sci-fi genres by centering queer, diaspora, and BIPOC stories.
我是个被科幻小说和话剧 “养大” 的小孩——虽然两者几乎从来无法在同一个屋檐下和平共处。我现在的写作就是在这两者的张力中诞生的：我试图通过构建奇幻的新世界，去分析当代社会的问题。受布莱希特的“间离效果”的启发，我相信推想文学能够揭开被现实主义掩盖的人类处境。我的创作灵感来源于刘宇昆、奥克塔维娅·E·巴特勒和厄休拉·勒古恩等作家。像ta们一样，我希望颠覆传统西方由白人主导的科幻类型，将观众的视角聚焦在酷儿，移民与有色族群的故事上。

BIO | 个人简介
Born in Tianjin, China, I moved with my family to Canada at the age of six. I lived in between the two countries for many years. I write in both Chinese and English.
Though an occasional poet, songwriter, and translator, I found my true passion of playwriting at the University of Chicago, where I earned my bachelor’s degrees in anthropology and theater. I am a retired actor who will occasionally make an appearance at a reading or two (invite only).
I recently made my professional playwriting debut with my play Nüwa in Fairyland, which was beautifully done by my friends at CHUANG Stage. It earned a Critics’ Pick from the Boston Theater Critics Association.
I just graduated from Boston University, where I earned my MFA in playwriting after three years of mentorship from Nathan Alan Davis, Hansol Jung, Ronan Noone, and Melinda Lopez.
我出生于中国天津，六岁时随家人移居加拿大，成长于东西方文化之间，现在我用中英文双语进行创作。
我于芝加哥大学获得人类学与戏剧双学位学士，并在那里产生了对舞台剧创作的热情（剧作之外我也写诗，写歌，做翻译）。最早也涉猎表演，如今已退役，但是遇到好玩的角儿我还是会重返江湖。
我第一个由专业剧团制作的剧本是《梦女娲》，与波士顿的 CHUANG Stage 合作排演，并获得波士顿剧评人协会的 “Critics’ Pick” 荣誉。
我最近毕业于波士顿大学，获得戏剧写作的艺术创作硕士 （Master of Fine Arts in Playwriting），师从 Nathan Alan Davis, Hansol Jung, Ronan Noone 与 Melinda Lopez。
