Canran Huang

Mr. Canran Huang, a Chinese poet, translator, was born in 1963, in Quanzhou, Fujian Province and moved to Hong Kong in 1978. He graduated from Guangzhou's Jinan University in 1988. From 1990 to 2014, he translated international news for the Hong Kong newspaper Ta Kung Bao.  Since resignation, he has been residing in Dongbei Village in Shenzhen.

His representative poetry collection Book of Wonders forms a unique school of poetry exposing the nature and sensitiveness of the poet. We see the wit and the little pieces in life through the lines of Discovery. The poetry collection My Soul earned the Poetry Prize of the 10th Media Awards for Chinese Literature.

His poems cast light on both the hardship and glory of life. They are also the real consolation to the numerous followers and sufferers of the worldly philosophy. He touches the world of reality and fantasy by his sense of poetry that is so keen, like peaceful water flowing to the deep, unstrained and free.

「Artist-in-Residence」

In 2016, the University initiated the Artist-in-Residence Program to create an artistic atmosphere on campus and to elevate student's aesthetic taste. We regularly invite top artists from various fields to reside on campus, create artworks and hold workshops with students.

The program may last 5-10 days or 1-2 months. Artists will work with or guide students to create or appreciate artworks through workshop or lectures. Artists will also take into account resources available off campus to contribute towards our development.
