Using worlds of words to map landscapes of true adventure

I came to China to tell stories. I ended up living them. And I ended up sharing this life of stories with the world in ways I'd never imagined.

Ostrich rodeos, break-dancing yak herders, mass graves, leprosy villages, hunting wolves with eagles on horseback, literally bringing light to dark places on the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau — there are too many stories. I've lived these during my travels through every province since I arrived 20 years ago to work for China Daily and shared them as viral videos, popular articles and best-selling books.

I didn't just write these stories. They rewrote my life.
