My British Parents Were Skeptical About China… Then They Saw It

They’ve heard the headlines.
They’ve seen the news clips.
But nothing truly prepares you for seeing China with your own eyes.

After my dad’s first trip, it was time to bring both Ben’s British parents to Beijing — a city they were genuinely unsure about before arriving. With years of Western media shaping their expectations, they didn’t know what they were walking into… and neither did I.
