“Ren Yi,” in David Pong ed., Encyclopedia of Modern China (Detroit, MI: Charles Scribner’s Sons, 2009), vol. 4, pp. 264-265.

Being invited to contribute to the Encyclopedia of Modern China, edited by David Pong, is significant as the encyclopedia is a landmark English-language reference work widely consulted by scholars, students, and general readers worldwide. My entry, “Ren Yi,” highlights the artistic achievements of one of the most influential late Qing painters, situating his work within broader currents of modern Chinese art. Contributing to this volume demonstrates recognition of my expertise in the field and allowed me to shape how an international audience understands Chinese painting and its transition into modernity.
