Biography:
Christine Ni is a writer, translator and speaker on Chinese traditional and pop culture. Her translation work has ranged from comics for the yaoi publisher Drama Queen, to poetic writings of professors for the Guangdong Art Academy. Born In Guangzhou, Christine moved to the UK in 1993, and expresses her love for Britain and China equally. Her aim is to show the West that there is more to Chinese culture than kung fu and Monkey (though she thinks both ARE pretty cool). Christine began giving talks on Chinese culture at Amecon 2008, where she unveiled the western premier of the animated feature Stormriders:Clash of Evils. She has spoken on tea culture, Chinese animation, CN punk, classical literature and Chinese food at festivals around the UK. She is currently working on a collection of Chinese manhua, and regularly attends film festivals around the UK, as an interviewer, translator, and presenter.
