Ryu Zhong

‘Ryu’ means ‘dragon’ in Japanese, and ‘Zhong’ can be translated from Chinese as ‘liaison’. This amalgam of languages represents the fusion of cultures that characterises the writings of Ryu Zhong.

In their books, Ryu Zhong explore challenges that humanity might face as our technology gets more and more complicated to the level where it becomes magic. Such a shift would force people to look towards religion and reinterpret realities that today, we call fairy tales.

Ryu Zhong were lucky to be born and grow in Asia. Now they live in Amsterdam, study Dutch, and translate their writings to English.
