Alessandro Ceschi - Becoming a Nomadic Writer
I had the pleasure of conversing with my partner in crime from the Middle Kingdom, Alessandro Ceschi. We first met in 2016 in Beijing when neither of us could speak a word of Mandarin. Fast forward to today, and he's writing articles and books in Chinese!
We talked about :
Learning Chinese in Beijing,
The Chinese film industry before Covid
The lockdown experiences in China
The challenge of publishing a book in China (and the differences between 出版公司 and 出版社）
Ale’s journey to becoming a « nomadic writer » （游牧作者）
