Why Hong Kong is clamping down on creative writing by Madeleine Thien
thank you, wonderful literary journals, for giving my words a home! 🤗🌻💐
I am proud to hold an MFA in Creative Writing from City University in Hong Kong...
but in 2015 the program was shut down. even though students from 20 different countries with richly diverse linguistic backgrounds who wanted to write in English were ready to put time and money into the program.
read the article by Madeleine Thien linked above.
never take freedom of speech for granted
cultivate dialogue
ask intentional questions
listen, even when it's uncomfortable.
read, write, read...then go for a long walk and listen for meadowlarks
