Photographer Project around China

With media coverage for China now focused on the Beijing Olympics, to provide an alternative view of the Chinese and what's on their mind, Digital Railroad member Adrian Fisk makes his "iSpeak China" story set available exclusively in the US through Marketplace.

"For the last few centuries the west has dominated economics, politics and culture. But now there is a shift towards the east, in particular China, a country of 1.4 billion people of which we know little about. It is the young Chinese who will inherit this new found global influence, but who they and what do they think about life. I have just returned from a 12500 km journey through China to find an answer to this question. I looked for young Chinese aged from 16 – 30 years, gave them a piece of paper and simply told them they could write what ever they wanted to on the piece of paper. The results were fascinating."

Each image includes a brief bio about each person depicted in the series and a translation from the Chinese (where needed) for each quote or reflection provided by the subject.
