About

Welcome to LeaChina – your gateway to authentic Chinese culture.

This may be a long introduction, but it’s something I’ve wanted to share for a long time, and I hope you’ll take a moment to read it.

I’m Lea − Chinese by birth, a global citizen at heart.

I have an adventural spirit in my DNA. Born in a small, little-known town in China, I’ve always longed to see the wider world and explore different cultures. My journey began with foreign languages — I learned English since young, chose French as major at university, and taught myself Spanish. 

That love for languages grew into a love for civilizations themselves. I’ve traveled to over 20 countries, from standing in awe before the Parthenon in Athens to witnessing life in Africa’s poorest nation and the opulence of the Middle East…

The more I embraced the world, the softer I became. Multicultural experiences have made me more inclusive, open-minded, and rational.

My career has always revolved around intercultural communication — as both an interpreter and an intercultural consultant. I’ve worked extensively with French people and luxury brands such as Hermès and Dior, and in Shanghai, I lead an international community of over 2,000 members.

Living between cultures has shown me how vast the gaps can be — and how easily they lead to misunderstanding. I firmly believe ignorance is our greatest enemy.

Can we still create something utopian in a dystopian world? I’m not sure, but I’m still trying. As a humanities student, I’ve always carried an idealistic, humanistic hope for this chaotic world.

That’s why I started my TikTok channel — to share perspectives that might help you better understand a different society: China.

LeaChina was born from the same idea — to help you truly connect with China, not just as a place on the map, but as a living, breathing culture. Here, you’ll find curated travel experiences, consulting for working or doing business in China, and books that open the door to Chinese history, society, and daily life (with more to come). I personally design or select each service to ensure it carries both authenticity and meaning.

Whether you’re a curious first-time visitor or an aspiring professional in China, my goal is to make your connection to China real, memorable, and transformative.

Because the more we understand each other, the smaller the world’s divides become. 🌏
