I specialize in Chinese literary translation and narrative localization — the kind of work where rhythm, silence, and emotional restraint matter just as much as accuracy. I help projects sound genuinely human in Chinese, avoiding rigid, machine-like phrasing in favor of language that feels emotionally grounded, natural, and genuinely lived-in.
As an independent writer with a BA in Chinese Literature from Xiamen University, I bring a creator’s intuition to fast-paced commercial pipelines.
Why trust me with your project?
• Proven Commercial Efficiency: Localized, proofread, and synchronized over 40 hours of dialogue across more than 20 high-volume serialized short dramas, maintaining strong continuity and consistency under tight deadlines.
• Technical Subtitling Expertise: Highly proficient in Subtitle Edit (SE) for precise timecoding, spotting, and subtitle synchronization.
• Brand Copywriting Experience: Crafted commercial narrative work and marketing copy for major global brands like Vivo.
• Deep Literary Foundation: Continuous study and translation of modern English-language writers (J.D. Salinger, Richard Brautigan, Raymond Carver, among others), giving me a hyper-sensitivity to subtext, ambiguity, and character voice.
My core services include:
🎬 Short Drama Localization, Subtitling & Adaptation
• Dialogue localization and subtitle polishing for native reading rhythm
• Accurate timecoding, spotting, and line-syncing using Subtitle Edit (SE)
• UI-aware editing and concise line restructuring under subtitle constraints
• Emotional pacing and character voice consistency across serialized content
✒️ Literary Translation & Narrative-Heavy Localization
• Narrative-heavy indie games (RPGs / psychological horror)
• Surrealist fiction, stream-of-consciousness prose, and experimental writing
• Literary publications and hybrid multimedia projects
🎙️ Narrative Voiceover & Audio Production
As a native speaker holding a Level 2-A Mandarin Proficiency Certificate (China's national standard fluency certification), I provide atmospheric voice work for audiobooks, documentaries, and narrative media.
• Studio-grade workflow: Zoom H4 recording + Logic Pro post-production.
• Deliverables: Broadcast-ready audio with detailed noise reduction, de-clicking, and emotional pacing.
I approach language not simply as information, but as atmosphere. If your project values emotional precision and localization that feels authentically human, I would love to collaborate. Feel free to message me with your project details — I'm happy to discuss scope, timeline, and fit.
