What an enriching experience at the “Translation and Chinese/Sinophone/Sinitic Poetry” seminar I organized with Simona Gallo and Lucas Klein during the 2025 ACLA Annual Meeting! Grateful for three days of thought-provoking discussions and truly inspiring papers!

My first student at the UofT graduated with a Master’s degree!

#Toronto peeps, my book is now available at the UofT RCL CHKL Library (f8 Robarts U of T Libraries, part of East Asian Library UTL) in its physical form — in addition to the ebook! (According to the latest intel, someone has already borrowed it so I used my own copy for the photo shoot🫶👽📚)

Three conference group photos this year: Saarbrücken (Cultural Reparation), Milan (Geo-literary images), Toronto (Sinophone translation)! 今年三張研討會合照：薩布呂肯（文化修復）、米蘭(文學地景）、多倫多（華語翻譯）！

Caught the 4K restoration of #WongKarWai’s In the Mood for Love #花樣年華 at Toronto’s Fox Theatre (est. 1914)! Recently, I also wrote two encyclopedia entries on #LiuYichang’s #劉以鬯 fiction, The Drunkard and “Intersection,” which inspired this film’s haunting beauty.
