Your teacher
I'm the founder of Chenghuai Chinese Academy, a boutique Chinese literature and cultural education studio based in Pymble, on Sydney's North Shore.Chenghuai grew from my lifelong love of Chinese literature and a desire to share its richness with a new generation of learners. What began as a vision for children's education has since evolved into a broader aspiration: to make the wisdom and beauty of Chinese literature and culture accessible to people of all ages.I hold a bachelor's degree in Chinese Language and Literature and a master's degree in Modern and Contemporary Chinese Literature and Culture. I later worked as a journalist and translator, with three of my book translations published by CITIC Press. These experiences have shaped both my understanding of literature and the way I share it with others.What fascinates me most about Chinese culture is how a single character can reveal an ancient way of seeing the world, how a myth can raise profound questions about nature and existence, and how a few lines of poetry can capture emotions that still resonate with us centuries later.At Chenghuai, I believe learning is more than acquiring knowledge. Through storytelling, exploration, creative activities and thoughtful conversations, I encourage learners to question, reflect and discover connections between classical wisdom and their own lives.For children and young learners, our *Worlds Within Words* programs explore Chinese characters, classical literature, mythology, philosophy and aesthetics, nurturing language proficiency, independent thinking, confident expression and a lasting appreciation of Chinese cultural heritage.For adults, our *Unwind with Chinese Culture* experiences offer a relaxed and welcoming introduction to Chinese stories, poetry and philosophical ideas. Our small-group sessions include *Worlds Within Words*, *Myths & Mysteries of Ancient China* and *Tea & Tales*, where cultural discovery unfolds through storytelling and meaningful conversation. No Chinese language skills or prior knowledge are required for these introductory experiences.Above all, I hope Chenghuai will be a place where learning inspires curiosity, enriches our inner lives and encourages us to see the world with greater understanding, compassion and an appreciation for everyday beauty.
