The Cantonese name Keung Hoi Ling means triumph returns, which describes her unswerving determination to achieve her dreams as a young dancer. The name Stephanie is just for fitting into the Western world.
Stephanie transferred from the HKAPA to NSCD in 2019 due to the upsetting political situation in Hong Kong. The Chinese Government left her no choice but to escape 5940 miles away to retain her freedom of expression. She dedicated herself to speaking out for her people - both her solo and research projects revealed the helplessness of being suddenly far away from home. She was once again challenged by COVID-19. Luckily, by collaborating with Joseph Mercier and Fernanda Prata, she could once again express herself through a platinum wig and indigo bruises.
Stephanie had received different offers, yet she sees the bigger picture. She isn’t afraid; it is written in her name. She shall rise again and return in triumph.
