Sally Sijin He
PhD candidate in Nanjing, China
Hello, I’m Sijin HE 何思锦.
He is a common Chinese surname, though its English spelling often causes confusion—yes, I’m female. My given name, Sijin, is pronounced /sɹ̩̌.tɕin/ in Mandarin. If you're unsure how to pronounce it, you're very welcome to call me Sally. Contact me: [email protected]
Bio
- I’m a PhD candidate at the Center for Research of Chinese New Literature of Nanjing University. I received both my bachelor’s (2021) and master’s degrees (2024) from Nankai University in Tianjin, China.
- My earlier research focused on Korean poetry, and my master’s thesis was titled “A Study on the Origins of Yoon Dong-ju’s Poetry.” My current work centers on modern Chinese poetry, with a particular interest in poetic prosody from the 1920s to 1940s. I also read science fictions.
