In this episode of the ongoing Mics and Minds series we meet Qin Sun Stubis, an accomplished writer, newspaper columnist, and the award-winning author of “Once Our Lives.”
Born during the tumultuous era of the Great Chinese Famine in a Shanghai shantytown, Qin's early years were marked by hardship. As the first foreign student to graduate from her university's Department of Communications, Qin has dedicated herself to advocating for the voiceless and fostering cross-cultural understanding through her writings.
Stay tuned and listen to the episode with our host Payal Nayar to discover Qin’s powerful narratives.
Qin's journey is a testament to resilience. Her thirst for knowledge led her to read forbidden books and secure a place at one of China’s top universities, where she graduated with a degree in English and English Literature. Not only that but with the support of the U.S. Senator Qin emigrated to the United States, becoming the first foreign student to graduate from her university’s communications department. For the past 15 years, Qin has enriched readers as a newspaper columnist, delving into Asian cultural heritage and universal human connections. Her diverse literary contributions, including poems, essays, short stories, and original Chinese tall tales, have appeared in over 200 publications worldwide.
