Reviews

After receiving her BA in English from Anhui University, China, she immigrated to the United States in 1985. She got her Master of Science degree in Library Science from Villanova University a year later, and a Ph.D. in Communication in 1993 from Temple University, Philadelphia. Her dissertation, a result of an oral history of Chinese cartoons for which she interviewed over a hundred cartoonists in China, was the first such research proving that cartoons can be a powerful device in mass communication, a theory that had been neglected for a long time in the field of communication. She was Book Review Editor for WittyWorld International Cartoon Magazine between 1986 and 1996, and published more than fifty articles on cartoons in professional journals in China, Japan, England and the United States. She was a contributing author to the "World Encyclopedia of Cartoons" and "World Encyclopedia of Comics" by Chelsea House of Publishers, Philadelphia. Since the 1980s, she has helped organize Chinese cartoon exhibitions in Japan and the U.S., presented research papers on cartoons, and also given lectures on Chinese animation film to graphic design classes. She is serving on the Editorial Board of the International Journal of Comic Art, Philadelphia. HongYing has been included in: "2,000 Notable American Women" (4th Ed.); "Personalities of America" (6th Ed.); "The International Dictionary of Distinguished Leadership" (3rd Ed.); "The World Who's Who" (22nd Ed.); and "The World Who's Who of Women" (11th Ed.). Currently, she is working as the Campus Librarian at Keiser College, Sarasota, FL.
