Liu Dakang Iris

A Chinese-language writer exploring language, judgment, family systems, and how people stay clear in the age of AI.

Language Awakening

Language Awakening is my first completed systematic work. It is a Chinese-language book and framework about language judgment: the ability to notice what language is doing to our feelings, our voice, our sense of responsibility, and our relationships.

It is not a communication-skills manual. It begins with a more basic question:

When a sentence makes you doubt yourself, what is it doing to your feelings, your voice, and your judgment?

The Five Stages

  1. Awareness
  2. Deconstruction
  3. Stabilization
  4. Rebuilding
  5. Co-creation

The primary text and conceptual framework are developed in Chinese. English terms are working translations.

Current Status

The Chinese manuscript is completed. Updates on previews and reading options will be shared primarily through my WeChat Official Account: 柳达康 Iris.
