Fun fact: the abacus system is the only system I’ve got. I’m still puzzled how other people do calculations…

2023年,37,439名中国公民从美墨边境翻墙进入美国。这个数字是2022的10倍。

这些中国人每个都有一个迫不得已的故事,但美国真的跟他们相像中的一样吗?

我遇到的中国走线客大都性格乐观,但他们常常对这一路的危险、欺诈和屈辱缺乏认知。在走过哥伦比亚与巴拿马之间的达连隘口,历经生死后,很多人都留下了眼泪,也有人悔不当初。这段经历他们到了美国之后很少提及,有的人至今没对家人讲过。

The road to America is marred w/ danger, deception, and at times deep humiliation.

Here, we witness the Chinese migrants exit the Darien Gap, shattered by the near death experience.

Many wish they hadn't come. It's the side of the story that you don't often see.

去年年底到今年年初,我和几位同事花了7个星期的时间,从厄瓜多尔到加州,拍摄了一部中国人走线的纪录片。

以下一幕发生在我们抵达加州的第一天。

这部三集的纪录片会在下月于 CNA 播出。

From Nov 23 to Jan 24, my team and I spent 7 weeks between Ecuador and the US, tracking Chinese citizens on the migration trail to America.

This is what I saw on my first day in California.

Walk the Line, a 3-part documentary series, premiers on CNA next month.

NPC will no longer have a premier's press conference at its closing, which was about the only chance foreign correspondents got to ask the top Chinese leadership any question.

China's 'new and improved' youth unemployment rate now stands at 14.9%, abt a 1/3 lower than when Beijing suspended data release.

But then, people without a job don't need a data point to tell them that.

Rewatching our documentary from 4 months ago still hurts my heart.

My unpopular opinion: there’s such a thing called creative license, and that means, yes, they are allowed to move some signs around. Keep banging on this just makes us seem so small.

I've just realized the new X won't let you DM people who don't follow you, unless of course you pay a fee. Reminds me of days when Tencent QQ let you pay a fee to see who set their status to hidden when you came online. Very juvenile.
