Prologue

At a certain time, in a certain space, we are here, in Arizona, USA. Some people have stayed, and some have returned from overseas. At the intersection of time and space , there are many stories composed of minutes and seconds. In the "Sunbird Chronicles" of the Sunbird Asia Chinese Network, we see many old overseas Chinese such as Zhang Zhaohong, Qi Ruhong, Wen Ruo, Huiming, Fengming, Xinshui, etc. recording their lives in words. First of all, we would like to thank them for their records, which allow us to see the growth footprints of a generation of immigrants. In Phoenix, there are also some new immigrants who are busy in the high-tech district, as well as international students who come to study. They come here with the aura of Chinese people born in the 1970s, 1980s, and 1990s. The life changes and choices they face are happening now. "Sunbird Asia Chinese Network" hopes to record these and mobilize the power of interviews to record the stories in this time and space. Special reporter Feng Haiyan recorded a day in the life of an international student. An ordinary day is also mixed with choices and persistence. If you have interesting people or interesting stories around you, please contact us and share "Sunbird Chronicles" together.
