Is a Chinese-American composer, musician, and teacher. Now based in the California Bay area, she is known for her music which has often incorporated traditional Chinese music into contemporary contexts.In 2004, Dong wrote the piece Ludamus Denuo, which she still considers part of her “Fusion” period, but is moving in a new direction. The text of the piece is a 20th century English poem written for children, which Dong has translated into medieval Latin and set for children’s choir. Here, Dong is attempting to create a sense of timelessness and stylistic anonymity in the piece. At certain sections the piece is motet-like and at other instances evokes more of a twentieth century harmony. When it was suggested to Dong that the piece did not sound stylistically “Chinese”, she replied by saying that she is Chinese herself and asked how anything written by herself could possibly not be Chinese.

She is strong on 3 events: Balance Beam, Floor Exercise and Vault. She participated in two Olympic Games, two World Championships and qualified for the 1998 World Cup Final. Kui shocked everyone when she became the 1996 World Champion on floor exercise (the first Chinese woman gymnast to win a world title in this event), although a fall in the semi-finals prevented her from making finals in her best event, the beam. After her unexpected win she competed at the 1996 Olympics, finishing 4th with her team. She also recorded the highest score of the entire Olympics on the balance beam, a 9.875 during the team optionals, and in doing so, became the only gymnast to top the 9.862 scored three consecutive times by Olympic balance beam champion Shannon Miller. Unfortunately, a fall from the beam during the team compulsories (resulting in a disastrous score of 8.925) prevented Kui from making the beam finals. She also failed to make the final in the floor exercise (where she was the world champion).
