I am a Chinese reporter trained in France and in U.S., Respecting the journalistic
discipline and ethics, I’m always inspired by the essence of journalism: telling the
truth. Two years journalistic experiences in Europe helped me to understand
journalism. Two years experiences in New York help me enforce my journalistic
skills.
I am always willing to be a cultural bridge between China and U.S.
I hope work as foreign correspondent for American media in China, covering business
and politics. As China is becoming more and more open today, it deserves a better
understanding from the world. Vice versa.
