The Sinocultural Review

A Journal of Language, Culture, Humanities, Arts, and Global Understanding

Special Issue

The Moments of Happiness: Memory, Imagination, and Human Connection

 

What makes a moment unforgettable?

Perhaps it is the laughter of family, a meaningful journey, the fragrance of tea, a beautiful landscape, a favorite poem, a work of art, or a quiet conversation. These seemingly ordinary moments often become the memories that shape our lives.

The Sinocultural Review invites scholars, educators, writers, artists, photographers, translators, students, and creative practitioners from around the world to explore how happiness is remembered, imagined, represented, and shared across languages, cultures, and artistic traditions.

We welcome submissions in:

• Scholarly Research

• Creative Writing

• Photography

• Visual Arts

• Translation

• Interdisciplinary Humanities

Submissions are accepted in English, Chinese, or bilingual (English–Chinese).
