I am a businessman who has been reading China Today since 2015. Due to my work, I have travelled to many cities in China including Beijing, Shanghai, Xi’an, Guangzhou, and Shenzhen. My favorite one is Shanghai, which is the New York City of the Orient. I love the historic city of Xi’an too, which I have visited twice. Guangzhou is a manufacturing powerhouse and I am captivated by the vast amount of delicious foods in this metropolis. Shenzhen, another cosmopolitan city in southern China, feels similar to Los Angeles in California. For me, China is not that far apart as I read Chinese books and know many well-known Chinese people, for example, Chinese President Xi Jinping, author of the science fiction The Three-Body Problem Liu Cixin, and superstar CoCo Lee. China Today is a window for me to learn more about China. Your stories about Chinese culture, people’s life (clothing, food, housing, and travel), current events, business, economics, history, and politics are all fascinating. All in all, China Today is a magazine with high-quality editing and reporting, but I think China Today should also touch upon some controversial issues or problems facing Chinese society, for example, environmental and economic problems can also be discussed to let foreigners know what the real challenges are and what have been done or will be done to make a change. I have lived in this country for a period of time, seeing both its pros and cons and have witnessed its continuous development and changes. Perhaps a more balanced view will make your magazine more engaging and informative.

I am an alumnus of the Confucius Institute at George Mason University in Fairfax Virginia, the U.S. A friend of mine recently sent me the article “A Retired American’s Journey to Chinese Literature” in the February issue of China Today about me and the Chinese Reading Club that I started at our Confucius Institute. It is a very nice article about our obsession with Chinese literature. I also enjoyed reading all the other articles within this special report column, discovering that many people like me have been falling in love with the Chinese language and its culture as well as its people. Some of those faces are familiar to me as we have met before at the 13th Confucius Institute Conference in Chengdu last December. Whether those faces are men or women, white or black, old or young, all are devoting themselves to connecting their countries with China and promoting crosscultural communication between different peoples. It is a great honor for me to be one of them.
