Postfeminist paradoxes and age-defying narratives
Amid the rising popularity of Chinese reality shows centering on middle-aged and older women, Road of Blossoms (2025), spotlighting celebrities aged 45–75, garnered significant public attention, with 74-year-old Liu Xiaoqing as its central figure.

Is the use of multiple-choice items and a holistically-scored paragraph translation task fair? Examining a large-scale translation subtest
This study investigated the test fairness of the translation section of a large-scale English test in China by examining its Differential Test Functioning (DTF) and Differential Item Functioning (DIF) across gender and major.

Design/methodology/approach Therefore, this study adopts the approach of autoethnography to analyze my lived experience of developing disciplinary literacy and constructing i…

An autoethnography of an international English language teaching assistant’s identity paradoxes in an EFL context
International teaching assistants (ITAs) often encounter challenges, and with the popularization of English medium instruction (EMI) in international higher education contexts, these problems are no longer restricted to English-speaking countries. Against this backdrop and drawing on the concept of identity paradox, the author presents an autoethnography of the identity construction of an ITA in Macau. Influenced by factors at four levels (indivi…
