About Me

I enjoy navigating different cultures. I was born in a small village in central China called Junshan. At the age of 27, I moved to Germany, and at 29, I founded my own music agency: https://www.morgen-musik.com. This agency helps various European musicians tour in Asia. One project I am particularly proud of is inviting Gilda Buttà, the pianist of the great Italian film composer Ennio Morricone, and cellist Luca Pincini to tour China multiple times.

In 2021, I started hosting salon events for Chinese youth in Berlin. The aim is to help young Chinese people practice freedom of speech and create a participatory civil society. Additionally, I am a queer individual, passionate about exploring gender issues and various identity politics topics.
