“Xi Jinping is a model of leadership, of a leader who has both strategy and
compassion,” says William N. Brown, an American professor at Xiamen University,
who has called China home for over 30 years. His connection with Xi spans decades,
marked by personal letter exchanges and early encounters during Xi’s tenure in
coastal Fujian Province. Xi has long encouraged Brown—who has been writing about
China since 1988—to share China’s stories with the world.
Watch as Brown reflects on his journey, his inspiring interactions with Xi and the
stories behind their memorable connection.
