From tree-lined boulevards 🚴♂️ to soaring skyscrapers 🌆, Australian expat William Eric Wilson’s China story will make you rethink everything you know about development speed. After living seven years in Nanchang – capital of east China’s Jiangxi Province – Wilson shares how kindness and innovation collide in this dynamic city.
\"Imagine biking to work past ancient temples one minute and AI-powered traffic systems the next,\" he says, describing Ganjiang Boulevard’s blend of tradition and tech. But it’s not just infrastructure – Wilson recalls how his 60-year-old neighbor became family, even saving his son during a medical emergency. ❤️
The real showstopper? Nanchang’s transformation. \"They’d build a subway line faster than I could learn to pronounce ‘xièxie’,\" Wilson jokes. With 5G towers popping up like bamboo shoots and cashless payments dominating night markets 🥟, China’s development tempo is rewriting the rules of urban evolution.
