With a professional background in software engineering, I was a longtime Beijing resident and am an avid reader of anything China-related. Having moved to Beijing pre-2008 Summer Olympics, I spent a decade and a half 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.
