Émile was born in Lanzhou, Gansu province, and raised in France. Drawing from his self-exploration and encounters with people from different cultures, Émile aims to show through his writing that there are countless ways to answer life's essential questions on happiness, meaning, and success. By highlighting the various ways one can lead a fulfilling existence, Émile invites us to look within ourselves and unearth our own truth to the very subjective question: What does a good life mean to me?
Émile currently lives and works in Beijing.
