2020/21 – Zheng Dian

My name is Zheng Dian, as one of recipients of Hu-MAN-ities × KIT WAH Scholarship, majored in Liberal and Cultural Studies, currently pursuing a Master of Arts in Intercultural studies at CUHK. 

I occasionally come up with artistic pieces such as poems, novels and photographs to express my impression of social and cultural phenomena. As a fan of literary works, I often composed poems and novels in my spare time. Some of my poems published in Hong Kong famous magazines, such as “Hong Kong Literature”, “Zi Hua”, “Voice & Verse Poetry Magazine”, “P-articles”, “Tai Tau Choi Literature Monthly Magazine”. I was once invited to an exhibition as a young artist, and one of my works had been incorporated into a recent best-selling book named “戳穿黑色的寂靜蹤跡——烏克蘭戰爭，文藝歷史與當下”. Moreover, some articles I wrote have been published on the media platform of a NGO, “尖椒部落” in China with the purpose of appealing the attention of the public on gender equality and guarantee of rights and interests for female workers in grassroots.

I wish to start a career in the cultural industry in the near future, synchronizing with my motivation and passion in the subject I love. The scholarship motivated me to keep going and got me one step closer to my dream. Thank you again for your kind support, for which I will live up to your expectation in return.
