About Me

As a thinker and learner, my journey weaves through the rich tapestries of films, literature, and cultural studies. Fascinated by the myriad narratives that mirror real-life stories, I delve into the art of storytelling, seeking connections that resonate across the globe. My academic quest currently hovers around the post-war era, particularly examining how Japan and China, including mainland and Taiwan, are navigating their paths of national identity reconstruction.

​

Beyond academia, my spirit thrives in all the unseeing corners. I am a city wandered, drawn to the hidden gems and non-touristic enclaves that pulsate with authentic life. Embracing the ethos of a life explorer, I revel in the physicality and discipline of boxing, the challenge of climbing, and the unpredictable joy of spontaneous conversations. Music courses through my veins, with a special nod to the raw energy of rock bands from Japan, the United Kingdom, and China.
