J.J. Cheng is a Chinese American author and filmmaker born in Beijing, China, into a renowned intellectual family, on the eve of the Cultural Revolution. Before coming to America in 1988, Cheng was a pioneering English-speaking broadcast on CCTV, fluent in telling the “China Story” to the West. Cheng bears personal witness to the dramatic changes in China and the loss of heritage and traditions at the turn of the 21st century including her own family inheritance. Cheng traces her lineage all the way back to the 11th-century neo-Confucian philosopher, Cheng Hao, excavating spiritual relics and cosmic wisdom buried for centuries. The life story of her grandfather, Cheng Zhen Jun (1888-1932), is the inspiration for PHOENIXA, The Nest, the first in the PHOENIXA Legacy series, fusing social realism with myth, fantasy, philosophy, and spirituality. With great delight and passion, Cheng also illustrated and narrated the novel. Based in New York and Beijing, bi-continental, bilingual Cheng also taught in both the US and China as an Associate Professor of Cinema and Television. PHOENIXA, The Nest, is a gift to anyone who cherishes self-discovery and transformation.
