"Culture crossing, for starters, is about relishing the food we can't pronounce, connecting with people who don't speak our language, and seeing the world through their eyes." - Author Cheng Wang

“If living is a journey, writing it is the ultimate adventure.”
– Cheng Wang, a life writer and cross-cultural messenger.
Cross-Cultural Way is an author's website dedicated to sharing personal stories and insights on Eastern vs. Western cultures, faiths, and spirituality. The site features the author's memoir, "From Tea to Coffee: A Journey of an 'Educated Youth," as well as published articles and blogs contributed to Notre Dame Magazine and other platforms. We are committed to providing a platform for open dialogue and exchange of ideas, and we welcome you to be part of this enriching journey.
Born and raised in China, Cheng moved to America several years after finishing college. His life has undergone many dramatic changes: from a Maoist soldier by indoctrination to a Western economist by education, and then to a Principal Member of the Tech Staff by profession. Yet, at heart, Cheng is a writer, having published an award-winning memoir, From Tea to Coffee: The Journey of an “Educated Youth,” along with numerous articles in prestigious magazines over the years
If he can make such bold changes and prevail each time, almost anyone can—if you dare to dream and put in the effort. As a mentor for Notre Dame MBA students and a Creative Writing Expert Console Member for NC State, Cheng has enthused many to believe in themselves and pursue their life goals.
Traveling is his greatest passion, as he loves writing about the experiences of different cultures and diverse people. When he isn’t on the road, he feels truly alive through reading, writing, and conversing with linguaphiles. Strolling through the woods provides the happiest mental escape, while playing tennis rejuvenates his physical and emotional vigor -- to get a fresh start the next day.
