About

I am a PhD student in Translation and Transcultural Studies at the University of Warwick, under the supervision of Dr. Qian Liu and Prof. Alison Ribeiro de Menezes.

Research

My research focuses on the intersection between translation and traumatic memories of twentieth-century China, specifically investigating how diasporic literary works and their translations transmit and (re)construct the memory of the Nanjing Massacre across borders, cultures, and generations.

Research Interests

Translation Studies; Memory Studies; Literary Trauma Theory; Contemporary Chinese Literature; Chinese Diasporic Literature; Trauma Novel
