I'm not sure how she meets WP:GNG. "She founded a female magazine," but the reference doesn't say what it's called, and most likely it has folded. "In the United States, she... volunteered with a Living Library programme at elementary schools, where she told stories from Chinese culture" how is that notable? Neither is donating money to an earthquake. Clearly fails WP:Professor test. References 5-8 are just books written by her, not WP:RS. Reference 1 is just a listing of one of her books (Ref 7) on Douban.com. (Honestly, a Chinese book with only 23 votes on Douban.com, with 200 million registered users, should be considered obscure.) Page is orphaned but has a close-up photo, hmm.... (actually the same photo appears in Reference 2 with a caption that says "provided by the interviewee, Hong Chen".)Timmyshin (talk) 21:03, 12 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

"In the United States, she... volunteered with a Living Library programme at elementary schools, where she told stories from Chinese culture" is notable because she has since founded a similar programme at her univeristy. The WorldCat publication entries have been deleted and her awards have been added. Amys eye 10:02， 13/01/2017 (UTC)

I don't think such a program confers notability. The awards are non-notable. Googling "百本旅人最爱图书奖" (100 Books Most Beloved by Travellers Prize") and "《新女报》传媒集团年度文化人物奖" (New Woman Magazine Cultural Figure of the Year Award) only returns results about her.
