New 'My China Album' captures moving stories

Editor's note: The sixth edition of "My China Album" — which records Americans' experiences in China — is about to be released online and offline.

The latest version includes four short video episodes and a video featuring a deep dive into the heart of China, exploring its long history, modern life, and inviting policy, as well as people-to-people exchanges between the US and China.

Here is a brief introduction of the stories featured in the new edition of the video series.

Charles Stone, a lawyer from Illinois, US, was captivated by Shenzhen's unique charm when he arrived. Known for its economic vitality and natural beauty, the city's abundance of parks and greenery surprised him. Rain or shine, he became a frequent visitor to Lianhuashan Park, where he found inspiration to write poetry as a fan of Chinese literature. What stood out most to Stone was Shenzhen's exceptional safety, allowing him to explore parks alone at any time. With its welcoming environment and vibrant energy, Shenzhen has become home to over 100,000 foreigners, inspiring Stone to extend his stay indefinitely.
