With a professional background in software engineering, I'm a longtime Beijing resident and an avid reader of anything China-related. Having moved to Beijing pre-2008 Summer Olympics, I've spent years immersing myself in the country and am passionate about sharing its stories with others.

Since photography is another passion of mine, I showcase a selected image from my street photography portfolio in every edition as a visual highlight of the week.

Got any tips or feedback? Feel free to send them my way at whatshappeninginchina@substack.com.
