Born and raised in the Three Gorges reservoir region in southern China, Yingran drew inspiration from her hometown when designing the gameplay for Zong. Before officially launching game development, Yingran had spent five years creating Zong's lore, weaving ancient eastern mythology and philosophy into her unique and immersive storytelling.
The virtuous find paradise wherever they are, guided by gratitude for their ancestors afar.
