Hi, if you have any Chinese friends, please share this with them.
I just wrote a feature story on Xi Van Fleet (@XVanFleet) in Chinese, and it was published in a Chinese magazine called Return.
I promise: It’s a wonderful story, and absolutely worth reading and sharing!

Hi, Issue 2 of 《Return》 has been published!
In this issue, I interviewed the author of the book *Mao's America*, Xi Van Fleet @XVanFleet, which has caused a huge stir in mainstream American society. Her Chinese pen name is Cheng Xi.
In this exclusive interview, Cheng Xi shares many experiences that Chinese readers may not yet know about, as well as why she transformed from an American middle-class individual who could have quietly enjoyed a comfortable life into someone brave enough to step into the spotlight, even at the potential cost of greater sacrifices to become a “sage.”
The title of “sage” wasn’t something she gave herself, nor did I come up with it; it was said by an American writer in an article.
The writer said: An “outsider” often has a sharper insight into a country and society than those born there, just as Tocqueville from France, after traveling in America many years ago, wrote the immortal classic *Democracy in America*. Today, we need a new outsider “sage” like Tocqueville to help us understand how we’ve fallen into the current state of chaos, disorder, division, and declining standards, and to provide us with deeper insights to rediscover those values, norms, and social relationships that are crucial to the progress and development of all Americans.
In this sense, every overseas Chinese can actually become a “sage” like Cheng Xi.
