Barbara is a short film screenplay adapted from Thomas Hardy’s Barbara of the House of Grebe (1890), reimagined in 1940s China. The story focuses on a single episode from the original text: Barbara’s elopement with Edmond, here reinterpreted as Ai-de, a kitchen porter in her family’s Shanghai mansion. Barbara, the daughter of a wealthy businessman, impulsively runs away with Ai-de in search of emotional freedom across rigid class boundaries. Their brief refuge among Ai-de’s friends offers a fragile sense of intimacy, which is abruptly disrupted when Barbara falls seriously ill. Forced to return to Shanghai for medical treatment, the couple’s attempted escape is quietly drawn back into the social order they sought to leave behind. Through this intimate moment of flight and return, Barbara explores love, class constraint, and the limits of escape.

Against the Grain is a contemporary short film screenplay loosely inspired by The Tenant of Wildfell Hall (1848) by Anne Brontë. Drawing inspiration rather than offering a direct adaptation, the film reworks the novel’s core marital dynamic into a modern British setting. The story centers on Helen, a mother raising a disabled child, whose carefully maintained domestic life begins to unravel when she discovers that her husband, Gilbert, is having an affair with a neighboring woman. Different from Brontë’s novel, where Helen and Gilbert ultimately arrive at a form of resolution, this adaptation deliberately rejects a romantic or redemptive ending. Instead, it presents marriage as a site of imbalance, exhaustion, and quiet violence, exposing the emotional cost borne by women within supposedly stable relationships and directly challenging the promise of “happily ever after” embedded in the original text.

Screenwriter
The Tenants is a feature-length screenplay based on The Tenant of Wildfell Hall by Anne Brontë, reimagined through a Chinese perspective and set primarily in the United Kingdom. After graduating in the UK, Yanan, a young Chinese freelance translator, is invited to a hospice to help an elderly Chinese man write a final letter. What begins as a practical task slowly turns into a series of personal conversations. During their meeting, the man shows her a diary that reveals a hidden past. Years earlier in China, the diary’s author, Mingming, fled an abusive marriage and, while living briefly in a small town, formed a quiet relationship with Liangliang, a young man who would later leave China and settle in the UK. Mingming eventually returned to her parents in Japan with her son. The two never saw each other again. Nearing the end of his life, Liangliang hopes to write to Mingming for the first time. Before the letter can be completed, he passes away, leaving the words unwritten.
