"Originally from Guangzhou, I pursued a master's degree in Cultural and Religious Studies at the Chinese University of Hong Kong, after which I worked as an editor and columnist at a university and a think tank in Hong Kong. Currently, I am a PhD candidate at Sun Yat-sen University, specializing in Western Philosophy. My research spans contemporary continental philosophy and film philosophy, with some dabbling in history of science, philosophy of technology, biblical studies, linguistics, jurisprudence, and the study of 1960s-70s European cinema. My current research focuses on Western natural philosophy during the Ming and Qing dynasties, with a particular emphasis on uncovering various East Asian conceptual history issues related to translation since early modern times."
