After studying art in Liaoning and later Chinese literature at the Beijing University she taught Chinese drama and played key roles in several Chinese dramas. She later became a movie actress, television and movie screenwriter, and director, yet found time to write poems, essays and several novels. For her professional movie acting, writing and directing work, she received a number of Chinese provincial and national awards.
Since coming to the United States in 1997, Xiebing has taught Mandarin to adults and children in Fremont, San Mateo, Alameda and Oakland, California. She is an expert in the Chinese language, culture and literature.
Xiebing founded the Dasen Chinese Language Academy in 2003 for the purpose of teaching Mandarin to children and adults. In 2012 she broadened the curriculum to also include meditation techniques, Asian tea art, music, dancing and classical movies. Reflecting the new and expanded course of study, she renamed her facility the Dasen American Academy. In all her teaching Xiebing tries to bring the best of Eastern and Western culture to her students. The goals of her non-profit Academy can be summed up in three words: "Empathy, Ethics and Etiquette ". Her focus is always on increasing the self-confidence of her students and in teaching them to be better citizens and lead happier and more productive lives.
In recent months she has been getting her new Dasen Multi-Ethnic Museum up and running and devoting herself more to her writing. She continues teaching her young charges, but now, because of the pandemic, it’s by Zoom meeting.view less
