Witness

Finding the truest stories
at the front

Camera and recorder in hand, I walk into the places news crews turn away from — searching for the war's most human stories.

Widows and orphans in shelters. The elderly torn from their homes. Families holding their ground near the front. Wounded veterans in rehab. Young soldiers in the trenches.

These are the voices the news doesn't carry — and the truest part of this war.

Tell

From Ukraine,
to tens of thousands of readers and viewers in China

From first-hand material, I write long-form essays on WeChat and produce short videos for China's biggest platforms — covering aid work, personal interviews, historical accounts, and the latest from the ground.

Every piece is a bridge — reaching past China's walled internet, to the real Ukraine.
