This is a great video series, and not just because it's by my little sister, Anna Sophie. The Atlantic Monthly and the New York Times Magazine thought so too and gave her nice write ups. My sister, in her hipster girl lost in Beijing persona, has done a whole series of pieces where she gives you a window on Chinese culture and life that you won't see anywhere else. It is the kind of reportage that would have never been available without the digital revolution - I honestly think it is some of the most cutting edge use of the web I've seen; its not copying TV, but creating a new form.
