Abstract
Hua Dai, a Chinese Kiwi and Baptist Christian, shares her profound journey of healing and recovery after a life-threatening trauma in 2002, which inspired her poetry, PhD research, and advocacy work, including her book *Baby Dragon and Me* and her involvement with Dress for Success. Her mission is to serve others by offering a roadmap for healing, transforming society, and saving lives, particularly for women and children affected by violence. Through her poetry and reflections, she explores themes of self-discovery, societal imbalance, and the need for systemic support, such as a Ministry of Men's Affairs, to foster healing and peace.
