When I first thought about starting HYBA, it came from a simple feeling — that the traditions we grow up with aren’t meant to stay behind glass. They’re meant to be touched, shared, and lived again by our generation.

 

I’ve always been drawn to the gentle sound of the guzheng, the flow of ink on paper, and the quiet rhythm of calligraphy , not because I’m an expert, but because these traditions make me feel calm, grounded, and connected to something bigger than myself.

 

We come from different countries, each with its own beautiful heritage. No longer distant observers, we now step into one another’s cultures to experience, to participate, and to create together.

 

I hope HYBA can grow into a bridge where traditions continue to flow, where youth find harmony in difference, and where every culture shines as part of our shared human story.
