田甜，朋友們也喊我小田。對文學與哲學的熱愛指引我不斷求學及寫作。於湖南大學英文係本科畢業後，進入社會多個行業探索，最終成為雜誌撰稿人。曾供稿或就職於GQ、Vogue、Tatler、Dazed、RADII、《週末畫報》等刊物。後進入瑞士巴塞爾大學進修英文係並輔修數字人文專業。
這是我的個人網站，期待分享創作、學習體會、作品評論以及在東西方兩地生活的觀察和思考，與各界人士進行交流並產生聯繫。一個人的眼界終究有限，而交流是獲得別人生活經驗的方法之一，當然，書籍、電影、音樂等他人的創作也多有此功效。
曾希望更多用英文寫作，以將觸角伸向更廣的人群。但我深知母語所能達到的技巧及精準遠超第二語言之上，因此也會繼續使用並探索母語的潛力。當然，語言向來無法完全表達人之所想，但至少，我們可以盡可能地靠近。
當語言盡可能靠近思維的時候，我希望，思維與思維之間也可以更加靠近。被投擲世間，我們都是幸運兒；思維的互動，讓我們不再成為孤島。
I’m Tian Tian, and it’s not a typo. Friends in China refer to me as Xiao Tian, the same logic as Jack and Jackie. If you read this part, it’s fine to call me Tian. Being mononymous is pretty dope.
After graduating from Hunan University with a bachelor’s degree in English, I ventured into the mysterious jungle of many industries, and finally settled as a magazine writer, writing for GQ, Vogue, Tatler, Dazed, RADII, Modern Weekly, and many more. Currently, I am back in the ivory tower doing a master’s program in English and Digital Humanities at the University of Basel in Switzerland.
This is my website with a focus on philosophical and literary writing, as well as essays and reviews on cultural products. Living in both the East and the West also enables me to be an observer of two disparate cultures, which is something I also want to touch on. Everybody lives only once, but the fact that we are talking, writing, and producing animals grants us the privilege of living others’ lives and acquiring their experiences. Consequently, I hope this site can be a nexus of people through various communicative productions: texts, music, films, etc.
I once tried to prioritize English writing with a view to reaching a larger audience, but quickly realized the uncanny power of my mother tongue: I can write effortlessly without much pondering on words. It’s my built-in function. Thus I decided to treat both languages in equal measure and exploit the potentials of both. The aspiration thereof is to be closer to the referent with the help of a neat instrument.
I have a dream, that we will be able to get closer to each other when language gets closer to our minds. We are lucky (though confused) enough to be thrown into this world together, so why not stay connected and see what we can achieve?
