I am a film director (documentary, shorts) from the US. I was born and raised in China. For over a decade, I have dedicated myself to telling authentic, humanistic stories across multiple cultures, focusing on the grassroots people. Having directed 20 documentaries in China and abroad, my works are known for their in-depth interviews and compelling narratives. I studied English literature at Beijing Foreign Studies University. After graduation, I became a journalist for China Central Television. At 27, I directed my first indie film, "Beijing Is Not My Home", about the struggles of young dreamers who flocked to the capital city for better opportunities. Having established an intimate relationship with the characters, I was able to open up their deepest stories and emotions. In 2011, I directed a feature-length documentary on the plight of China’s migrant workers - rural residents moving to work in big cities. I followed the characters to their poor-conditioned factories, extremely cramped and impoverished homes. The film reveals their heart-broken stories of leaving the elderly and children behind, their anguish in legal battles and a bleak future. In 2015, I directed the documentary “When Chinese Meet Zambians”. It tells the life adventures of a Chinese businessman and a dentist in Zambia. Weaving natural landscapes, history, and personal stories created a visually stunning and a poetic film. The film received 2.9 million hits on YouTube. It was featured in PBS SoCal’s “Global Mosaic” Series and “The Forum on China-Africa Cooperation”. In 2019, I directed “The Island” about Zanzibar, the Spice Island, on the East Coast of Africa. It features an Arabian plantation owner, a Swahili singer and a painter. Through their perspectives, the film aims to reveal the secret of cultural coexistence among Arabians, Persians, Indians, and Africans. The film won “Best Medium-Length Documentary” at Heritales - IV International Heritage Film Festival in Portugal. In 2020, I directed “On the Wild Plateau” on wildlife conservation in Tibet, known as “Roof of the World”. It tells the sacred bond between the wildlife and local herdsmen who turned themselves into local rangers. The most arduous experience I have ever had - filming at 5000 meters above sea level- it’s also the most spiritually rewarding. I have expanded to narrative filmmaking lately. I obtained my MFA degree in film in the US, and directed several short films. Currently, I am a director member of "The Alliance of Women Directors” (AWD) based in Los Angeles. Whether in fiction or nonfiction filmmaking, my goal has always been to tell authentic, humanistic, and impactful stories with a global perspective.…I am a film director (documentary, shorts) from the US.
