In Her Own Words

About her

I am a rocket-factory worker turned author, a sensual woman, and a proud mother of two beautiful Eurasian daughters, and a Chinese with a dash of Latin spirit.

Raised in a working-class family on the banks of the Yangtze River, I was pulled from school at 16 to work in a military factory. Learning English transformed my life, leading me to England over thirty years ago. It’s been a long journey, and I feel deeply fortunate to be where I am now, pursuing my passion for writing and a wide range of interests. A full-time writer in English, my fiction and nonfiction works have been published in over a dozen countries. Yet, I’m no workaholic—I believe living an interesting life is more important than achieving highly. I’d like to think of myself as kind, curious, empathetic, and forever a learner. Feminine yet unpretentious (except when I laugh too loudly), I’m comfortable in my skin and easily connect with people, with friends scattered around the world. Caring and generous, I find joy in helping others.

An experienced traveler, I’ve savored golden peaches in Samarkand, marveled at the mass games in North Korea, trekked through the Tajik mountains, camped on Mongolia’s steppes, danced in Cuba, and trekked to Mount Everest. I’ve lived in Uzbekistan and the U.S. as well. A lover of nature and the outdoors, I enjoy long walks and hikes. I stay fit and active, exercising daily and embracing a healthy yet adventurous diet.

Life’s challenges have taught me to appreciate what I have, and I’m skilled at finding small joys each day. I have so much love to give and am grateful for the richness I can share.

An excellent and creative cook, I have a hearty appetite for both food and life itself.

About her ideal match

A man with a sharp, curious mind; a gentle, warm heart; and a decent-sized ego (i.e, not oversized). He’s well-educated, well-read, literary, and cosmopolitan. Ideally, he’s reasonably easygoing, not too set in his ways, and not emotionally constipated! Someone with a few passions—perhaps literature, current affairs, theatre, world cinema, or other creative or intellectual pursuits. I’m drawn to men with drive and energy. And above all, be kind—kindness matters most to me.

It’d be wonderful if he also loves traveling and exploring other cultures (and doesn’t rely too much on package holidays!).

Location isn’t a concern for me; as a writer, I can be anywhere as long as I have my laptop.

If you take the time to write, I’ll always reply. But if reading isn’t your thing, kindly look elsewhere.
