STAGE MANAGER

Stage manager is an amazing job that involves knowing what the different departments do and solving all the unexpected problems that arise during a performance. The joy gained when all departments work together on a show under your baton is immense.

ACTRESS

I didn't have a lot of experience working as an actress when I was in China. This is the first time I have written, directed and acted in a play. It's about the social issues faced by women from all over the world with different identities. It was an amazing experience to be on stage, where I was the character itself, and my joy and sorrow blended with the character.

ACTRESS

This is also a play that focuses on women in the same way. As an undergraduate I wanted to do a play with Chinese characteristics, and during my postgraduate studies I finally realised this dream. It is also an original play in which I perform the tragic life of a Republican woman on stage. With each play I hope to make the audience think, think about the problems women are facing and think about the meaning of feminist existence.

ACTRESS

This is the first off-campus performance project I have received in the UK. (I am still very grateful to the teacher who recognised my ability to work and recommended me to the director) I played a silent beekeeper in the play. Each performance involved walking around the city for three hours in a heavy beekeeping costume. Although it was a lot of work, it was a new experience that made me happy.

ACTRESS

This is a student film 'Table For One' directed by Maha Farhoud. This is a psychological drama that follow a man struggling with his intrusive thoughts in a Chinese restaurant. It was also the first acting job I took when I came to London. As a film where half of the story takes place in a Chinese restaurant, it is a proud thing to be able to spread Chinese culture to the world. Despite the novelty of experiencing the cultural differences during the filming process, we managed to overcome many difficulties to complete the film perfectly.
