I am a first year DPhil student at Balliol College, funded by Oxford-China Scholarship Council. My research focuses on the interactions between Greco-Roman and Chinese Classics, especially Greek scholarship and education in early 20th century China. I aim to explore how Chinese scholars/intellectuals learned, understood, and spread ancient Greek texts, meanwhile re-evaluating their domestic cultural heritage, in an era filled with ideological conflicts.
Before the DPhil, I attained a BA in English (World Literatures and Cultures) at Tsinghua University (Beijing), followed by an MPhil in Greek and/or Latin Languages and Literature at Oxford. In addition to my current DPhil project on reception and comparison, I am also interested in Sappho, lyric poetry, Hellenistic mimes, and gender theories.
