Q&A

How did you become an active member of the communities in Shenzhen?
P: I have been an avid member of various Shenzhen communities since arriving in May 2016. I first got involved when I found out about other foreigners doing animal rescue work. Through that, I met the founder of the former Shenzhen event company Love, Shenzhen. Through Love, Shenzhen, I became co-organizer of the Shenzhen Health and Wellness Fair from 2016 to 2018, working closely with Vista-SK International Medical Center and getting to know many of the figures spearheading healthy-living products and services for English-speaking Shenzheners.
