Bessie Du
此心安处是吾乡
I am a Chinese-American EU citizen,
a journalist inspired by the many ordinary people
I’ve met over the years and from across the globe.
Bessie Du’s own experience of migration and spiritual exile provides the foundation for this fascinating new podcast. As a journalist and human rights campaigner in China, the USA, Thailand, Hong Kong and Germany, she brings both empathy and intellectual rigour to these essential stories of our age.
Bessie Du is a multicultural phenomena. Her compassion and ingenuity mark her out as one of the most skilled journalists I’ve worked alongside. Deeply inquisitive, and open hearted, she gets to the core of a story without appearing to break a sweat.
Bessie brings light to the darkest places, with grace and humour and with the firm resolve of tempered steel.
