Jennifer Lin

    Tato autorka se celý život věnovala žurnalistice, s vášní pro odhalování a vyprávění příběhů. Její kariéra ji zavedla na klíčová místa po celém světě, kde informovala o zásadních událostech a přinášela svědectví o složitých společenských a politických změnách. Kromě rozsáhlého zpravodajství z mezinárodních scén ji však nejvíce zaujal osobní příběh její vlastní čínské rodiny. Tato směsice globálního pohledu a intimního zkoumání života dává její práci jedinečnou hloubku.
