Wing-Chi Chan

About the Author

Wing-Chi Chan is a distinguished poet and scholar whose work bridges the harrowing history of the Nanking Massacre with innovative artistic expression. Drawing from his deep-rooted interest in East Asian history and musicology, Chan crafts poetry that intertwines tonal rhyming schemes with synchronized musical elements, creating a haunting symphony of remembrance and resilience. His seminal work, 'Mass for Nanking's 1937: Synchronizing Musics and Tonal Rhyming onto Poetry,' exemplifies this unique approach, transforming the tragedy of 1937 into a lyrical elegy that resonates across cultures. With a background in comparative literature and performance arts, Chan's writing invites readers to engage with the past through the rhythms of language and sound, fostering empathy and reflection in an increasingly disconnected world.
