Over the past few years in Nanjing, she says the strongest feeling agriculture has given her is happiness. Just as importantly, she has found support—from training programs to opportunities to learn more about modern agriculture. “You are not farming alone. Behind you, there is an entire city supporting you.” Her experience offers one way to understand what it means to thrive in Nanjing: making your own choice, putting down roots, and finding the support to keep growing.

Yet what matters to him is not only how much the city has changed, but what it has kept: its greenery, openness and warmth. His story reflects a different kind of urban transformation—one measured not only in skylines, but in the lives that grow alongside them. Watch Patrick’s full story.
