My artistic work was recognised through an exclusive interview published by China Music, a professional music media platform dedicated to reporting on musicians, artistic development and contemporary Chinese music. The feature documented my journey as a guzheng performer based in the UK, including my performance activities, original compositions and cross-cultural music projects.

This exclusive interview explores my 25-year journey with the guzheng, from beginning at the age of four to perform. The interview also explored how I combine traditional guzheng practice with contemporary interpretation, and how I use performance and collaboration to share Chinese musical traditions with wider international audiences. I discuss my approach to tradition and innovation, my musical exchanges in Cambridge, and how the guzheng can connect Chinese and Western audiences.​ This recognition reflects the growing international engagement with my work as a guzheng artist and cultural ambassador.
