Qing Qing was born in Tianjin, China and grew up in the historical Wudadao neighborhood. At age nine, she bought an armful of snack food and ate them all the way to the airport on a plane ride that ended in Ohio, USA. A decade and a half later, her memories at times are still stuck at fourth grade, but she has since moved on to NYC, the greatest city in the world. Bilingual and bicultural, Qing Qing spans across seas from New York City to Beijing, watching and waiting for her worlds to collide. She spent her junior year of college abroad at Nankai University, where she met some of her best friends through the school's Rock n' Roll BBS and fainted for the first time at a Second-Hand Roses concert. She spent the latter half of the year in Beijing, working for Time Out Beijing, Get It Louder, and all the strange opportunities one stumbles on in a city of square dreams. Qing Qing has contributed or worked for THEME Magazine, Time Out Beijing, Marie Claire China, Art and Design, M theNewYorkArtWorld, the Get It Louder exhibition, the Asian American Writers' Workshop, various documentary / film and artist shows, and currently works in the art/design industry.
