New York Times reporter Andrew Higgins writes about his return to China
Andrew Higgins, a senior reporter for The New York Times and a two-time Pulitzer Prize winner, published a long report on October 11 recounting what he saw and heard after returning to China for the first time in decades. Higgins studied abroad at Shandong University in his early years, served as a Beijing correspondent and witnessed the 1989 Tiananmen incident firsthand, after which he moved on to cover Russia and Eastern Europe. The report records his observations and reflections after setting foot in China again after many years, drawing outside attention.
