I write in the spaces between memory and desire, in the quiet pauses where stories linger. My work traces the fragments of everyday life, the small gestures and overlooked moments that shape who we are. I am the author of Nowhere to Return, a semi-autobiographical novel exploring exile, longing, and the intimacy of fleeting encounters across London and Beijing.

On this page, you will find poetry, reflections on theatre and performance, and essays that explore the textures of life and memory. Each piece is a fragment—sometimes soft, sometimes sharp, always searching for the light within a moment.

I hope these words find a home with readers who are willing to linger, to pause, and to notice the unnoticed.
