    William Zhang

    William Zhang, a Chinese bilingual media veteran and Beijing resident of 43 years, comes from Hefei, Anhui’s capital. He learned to read and write during the Cultural Revolution and, after passing the reinstated 1977 university entrance exam, joined the first cohort of university English students in Hefei. In 1982, he moved to Beijing to pursue a master’s in English journalism and began his journalist career at Xinhua News Agency. Later, he became Reed-Elsevier’s first technology magazine and website publisher in China (EDNChina.com), focusing on semiconductor design and traveling extensively along his so-called “Silicon Road”—from Beijing, Shanghai, and Shenzhen to San Jose, Munich, and Tokyo. Over his 67 years, he has witnessed China’s remarkable transformation. Now, William’s work on social media—such as “East-WestStories” and “CoreChina”—aims to broaden Chinese understanding of the wider world. His talk focuses on China’s culinary evolution from the Qing Dynasty’s Li Hongzhang to today. His detailed profile on LinkedIn as "William Zhangๅผ ๆœชๅ."
