I finally created an account on Bluesky. If you are on there as well I'd like it if we kept in touch. @memostothefuture.bsky.social

“There are fewer children, but often there is more child.” What a sentence by Peter Hessler, part of a story from 203 about Yao Ming.

I’ve spent the last few days devouring New Yorker archive pieces on China. “China Diary,” by Joseph Kraft, is a vivid account of Nixon’s 1972 China visit. Having visited North Korea on multiple occasions I find myself reading anecdotes that feel oddly familiar: A long thread 🧵

@BigEdwardKu Really appreciate you saying that. Which city are you in?

@chris__pc Loving your Living History & recent New Yorker threads on old China stories—they deepen my passion for history/humanities docs. Shanghai photo/video pro (5+ yrs, strong humanities/outdoor/architecture, drives on location). Happy to trial unpaid 1-2 wks as assist/B-roll/driver.

Today we are launching Ep32 of Living History with Kent Kedl, formerly of Control Risk. Having arrived in 1984, Kent spent decades advising companies on China market entry strategies and recounts incredible stories of "marriage counseling" between Joint Venture partners.
