After years of living in Europe, I returned to China at the end of 2025 and began noticing daily life in a new way. From Guangzhou's public green spaces and ambient technology to Hangzhou's service culture, affordability, and nighttime safety, these are my first impressions of coming home with a different lens.
A personal travel narrative from Berlin tracing the forgotten grave of John Rabe—the German who saved over 200,000 lives during the Nanjing Massacre. Blending history, memory, and a Chinese perspective, this story explores how Rabe is remembered differently in Germany and China.
