This is an interview collection centered on “Chinese in Global Context” that captures China’s global integration through the lived experiences of 12 Chinese, and serves as a vivid example of telling China’s story to the world. The book features 12 interviewees born across four generations from 1960s to 1990s, with diverse backgrounds: a 1980s-born professional living and working in Africa, a group of photography enthusiasts studying in the UK, a circle of outstanding women engaged in music and film production, a former war correspondent, and more. These are stories of people challenging conventions, forging new identities on the global stage, and achieving success in their respective fields. Through their first-hand accounts of experiences, ongoing self-reflection, and journeys, the book presents a nuanced portrait of how ordinary Chinese people navigate and contribute to our interconnected world.
