HANGXIN XU (she/her)

Hi, I'm Hangxin Xu, an illustrator from China. I once studied oil painting and am now focused on creating children's picture books. I enjoy using soft materials like pencils, charcoal, and colored pencils, as they bring a warm and gentle feeling. I love depicting emotional stories between people, people and animals, and people and nature.

Through delicate visuals and sincere expressions, I hope to convey warmth and resonance to readers. In addition to creating picture books, I am also trying to create some graphic novels, exploring more diverse forms of storytelling.

To see you

Echo and Luca live on opposite ends of the world. When winter’s snow thaws, they finally board the cable car to meet—but fate lets them pass, unseen. A quiet tale of longing, distance, and friendship.

The Kite

After passing away, an old man becomes a kite, soaring through the sky. He revisits his life, meeting lost loved ones. In the end, he sends his love and memories to his family below. A story about love and remembrance—bonds that never fade, even beyond life.
