Making a marginalizedcommunity visible —on our own terms.
China decriminalized homosexuality in 1997. Yet LGBTQ+ expression remains heavily censored, while queer creators and communities continue to face harassment, platform restrictions, and erasure.
I created OutChina to bring visibility to a largely marginalized and invisible community. Over a decade, it has grown into an independent media platform spanning original docu-series, short documentaries, explainers, and podcasts — with millions of views worldwide.

A Chinese-language audio home for queer lives in motion.
Through candid conversations about identity, intimacy, migration, work, and chosen family, the podcast follows Chinese queer people building lives around the world.
For over a decade, I have shaped OutChina from an idea into a cross-format media platform — developing the editorial voice, directing films and series, hosting conversations, and building a community around them.
The throughline is simple: amplify Chinese queer stories with the cultural fluency, authenticity, and creative freedom we deserve.
