Journey Back Home - A Conversation with YIMI In this episode, Yang Liulang shared with us his recent trip to China with his family. They went through layovers and long flights to finally arrive in Beijing. In Beijing, they reunited with family and tried to immerse their children in Chinese culture by visiting famous landmarks, but many required advance reservations. This trip gave their children a more direct understanding of Chinese culture and the various aspects of Chinese life, including using WeChat Pay and Meituan for daily activities. The only challenge was the prevalence of smoking in public places.
