3. Using The Chinese language as an alternative to the Japanese passport, or doraemon’s random door, doraemon boldly travels around the world.
4. She traveled by train in China.
5. Breaking into the Chinese art scene in Canada.
6. Filming a documentary in New York’s Chinatown.
7. Set up a column in Hong Kong as a guest reporter.
