My name is June and I'm from China 🇨🇳. I studied a Master's in International Commercial Arbitration Law at Stockholm University.

Hey everyone! 

I’m June, currently studying for my master’s in International Commercial Arbitration at Stockholm University.

I did my undergrad at the Law School of China Women’s University, where my passion for feminist legal theory first sparked. As a girl from Hubei, China, I’ve personally experienced the “collective trauma” many of us face growing up — whether it’s the “patriarchal family structure” or the small but constant inequality woven into the fabric of everyday life. Northern Europe, especially Sweden, has long felt like a “WeChat homeland” for many Chinese women (myself included), a symbol of gender equality.

That’s one of the biggest reasons I decided to come here. I arrived in Sweden at the end of August 2024, just in time to catch the golden tail end of summer. Stockholm, nestled in this sun-kissed forest, feels like it’s flowing with quiet magic. My once-weary heart feels as soft as the gentle waves on Lake Mälaren. Of course, I’ve stumbled through plenty of awkward and funny moments in my first weeks here, but I’ve been blessed with the kindness of strangers. Everything around me seems to stretch out like the wind, gently unfolding without judgment. Here, I find small but profound moments of happiness and peace. And the best part? I even saw the northern lights within my first week here!

In the coming year, I’ll be sharing all kinds of quirky, wonderful topics with you, from hiking through Swedish landscapes, diving into the world of Swedish rock music, to stories of cute dogs and playful cats, discussions on feminism, LGBTQ+ rights, and practical tips for studying abroad. Feel free to comment or message me about what you’d love to hear more about! Let’s make this journey together one filled with discovery and connection!
