Xinran Xue

Xinran is a British-Chinese author, journalist and activist. She was the host of a pioneering Chinese radio show ‘Words on the Night Breeze’, which invited women to discuss their issues live on air. Her first book, The Good Women of Chin (2002), recounted some of these stories and has been translated into over 30 languages and became an international bestseller. Her book The Promise was shortlisted for the society of Authors Translation Prize.

In August 2004, Xinran set up 'The Mothers' Bridge of Love' (MBL), which reaches out to Chinese children in all corners of the world. By creating a bridge of understanding between China and the West and between adoptive culture and birth culture, MBL ultimately wants to help bridge the huge poverty gap that still exists in many parts of China.
