What I'm looking for

I’m looking for a role where I can combine teaching and translation—supporting students through high-quality English instruction while continuing research and publication in comparative literature and cultural communication.

I am a lecturer at ABA Teachers’ University, where I teach foreign literature history and apply rigorous, learner-centered English instruction. I bring a strong academic foundation, including a PhD in Comparative Literature World Literature from the Modern Poetry Institute of South-west University.

My career blends teaching, research, and language practice. I have worked as a college teacher, provided consecutive interpretation for specialized training and on-site engineering contexts, and served as a research assistant supporting translation and translingual comparative studies under Dr. Qian Jun.

I publish widely and translate across genres. My work includes award recognition (e.g., “Third Prize” for “Shelley’s Imagery in his Poetry”), multiple published articles and monographs, and translated books available via Douban Reading, reflecting my commitment to clear expression, cultural nuance, and academic integrity.
