DIANA CHAO 20-Year-Old Artist, Writer, Scientist, and Philanthropist 專訪「總統學者獎」普林斯頓華裔女生 English text by Cynthia Sun | Chinese text by Xinyi Wang Photography by Diana Chao and Jerm Cohen
O
n the afternoon of March 16, 20-year-old Diana Chao rushed from New Jersey to Manhattan’s YouthBridge conference to share her story with New York high schoolers. It is a story of a Chinese immigrant striving to not only overcome her own challenges as a child but also connect through a message of empathy, with everybody who has ever felt lonely or helpless. For a girl whose favorite food is sesame ice cream, and who’s so frank and down-to-earth, it’s hard to believe that Diana published a novel at age 13, received recognition from the U.S. Navy for her research on dengue fever at 16, worked for NASA and became the only girl in California to receive the 2016 Presidential Scholar Award at 17, became a special columnist for the American Astronomical Society at 18, was admitted to Princeton to study physics at 19, and even found time to create her own Vogue-featured photography studio along the way. SURMOUNTING HARDSHIP In elementary school, Diana emigrated from Guizhou, China, to Claremont, California, with her parents. Getting used to a new environment was already difficult for the child whose English vocabulary included

only “hello” and “thank you”; this, along with her parents’ nonexistent English, made her feel “really helpless, really so helpless.” “It was just very disappointing,” Diana said. “But I was already here, so I could only press on. So, from a young age, I tried to help my parents with anything I could.”

A Graceful Mingling of
East and West A young woman’s quest to connect with her heritage and revive its lost arts 勇者不懼 Chinese text by Rui Chen | English text by Tara dos Santos | Photography by Hugh Zhao
M
adeline Lobjois dances elegantly between two cultures. As one of the world’s best classical Chinese dancers, she connects with the long history and rich culture of the Chinese heritage on her mother’s side. But she was also born and raised in France, and her father is French. The influences of East and West mingle and complement each other—in her appearance, disposition, discipline, modesty, and many other characteristics that have led to her success. Her beauty and graceful temperament are immediately apparent. In appearance, she has inherited pleasing features, both Eastern and Western, from her parents. Through years of dance training, she has developed a perfect posture and bearing, bringing the refinement, balance, and poise of her stage performance into her daily life. As a Westerner, she’s direct and frank; as an Easterner, she’s modest and tenacious. She has learned much from both cultures, she says.

NIKI CHENG
The Design Entrepreneur on Growth and Change 華裔伉儷打造家居世界 English text by Jenny Zhi | Chinese text by Yi-Chun Lin
T
here’s no place like home—this is the core of Niki Cheng’s business strategy and philosophy. And as the owner of three Calligaris stores and one multiline M Collection store in New York City, as well as being the first to bring Camerich to the city, Niki makes sure it comes across in her showrooms. “A piece of furniture that you bring into your home will be there for years. That is a part of you,” says Niki. “So when I sell, I don’t want to sell a piece of furniture; I want to sell a home.” Niki has kept this concept in mind since opening her first furniture store with her husband, Shaokao Cheng, in 2003. A decade and a half later, the couple is well-known for successfully building their presence in the New York City furniture market “from nothing to something.”
