Hi! I’m Shuangting, and I’m from China.
I’m a journalist, researcher, and educator. Now, I’m becoming an artist as I dreamed for a long time. I recently graduated from the master program Instructional Technology & Media at Teachers College, Columbia University. Before that, I earned a bachelor of social science degree in Communication at University of Macau.
My parents were from Hunan (It means “south of the Dongting Lake“), a province of spicy foods, brave people, and Chairman Mao. I was born in Jingzhou, Hubei (“north of the Dongting Lake“), a small city that had been the capital for six dynasties. And I spent most of my childhood and teenage years in Guangzhou, where sharing the Cantonese culture with Hong Kong. The exposure of many cultures made me a hybrid of cultures, a traveler, and storyteller with open and critical eyes. And now, I want to share my whimsical stories with you and hope to learn your stories.
