Jane Cheung Yan Yi

Jane CHEUNG Yan Yi was born in Shenzhen and currently lives and works between Hong Kong and Taipei. She holds a BA degree in Creative and Professional Writing from Hong Kong Baptist University. At the moment, she is pursuing her MFA degree in Transdisciplinary Creative Writing at Taipei National University of the Arts.
​
Cheung's work examines the tensions and complexities of personal emotions within shifting cultural-political contexts. Using fabricated narrative as methodology, she ruptures lived reality to re-articulate overlooked, forgotten, or habitual moments in daily life.
​
She was shortlisted for the 27th Taipei Literature Award writing grants. She was awarded Youth Literary Association's 50th Flash Fiction Award and won HKBU Faculty of Arts and the Language Centre's 11th Intervarsity Creative Writing Competition for Prose.Her works have appeared in P-articles, Fleurs des Lettres, and Asia Art Archive's Like A Fever. Selected works are archived in the Hong Kong Literary Landscape Archive, the "我街道，我知道，我書寫" Community Writing Project, and the bilingual anthology Writing in Difficult Times. Her writing project Her Glance Flickers the Sea received funding from the Hong Kong Arts Development Council, focusing on the lives of female fishermen in Hong Kong.
​
Beyond writing, she constantly contemplates how to expand the boundaries of text. By combining media such as image, installation, and performance, she explores what constitutes literariness.
​
She has been selected for Asia Art Archive's "Try Zine Residency Programme 2025" and Rooftop Institute's Artist-in-School Programme (2025). She is currently a member of Opacity Poem and Writing As Method collective.
