Motherhood knows no borders—whether in bustling Beijing or sunny Los Angeles, raising kids is a universal journey with unique cultural flavors. CGTN's 'Another Me' series spotlights Emily (LA) and Fan (Beijing), two moms continents apart but united by their dedication to nurturing their children's growth.
Beijing Mom Diary 
Fan starts her day early, balancing traditional Chinese values with modern parenting. From calligraphy lessons to group math drills, she emphasizes discipline—but weekends mean family bike rides through hutongs and steaming dumpling-making sessions.
LA Mom Chronicles 
Emily's routine includes soccer practices and DIY science experiments. Her philosophy? 'Let kids explore!' But she admits bedtime negotiations feel as intense as TikTok trends.
Late-night heart-to-hearts over avocado toast keep their bond strong.
Same Heartbeat, Different Rhythms 
Both moms agree: sleepless nights and proud milestones transcend culture. As the series editor notes, 'It’s not about who parents better—it’s celebrating how love adapts while staying true.'
