Africans in China - Stories of Cross-Cultural Communication takes readers into the everyday lives of Africans who have made China their home, with Yiwu-a global trading hub-as its central stage. Adapted from the acclaimed documentary I Come from Africa, this book presents eighteen vivid personal stories that span business, public service, education, marriage, cuisine, and the arts. Through first-person accounts, the book highlights how individuals navigate cross-cultural encounters, forge new identities, and contribute to China-Africa understanding. Rather than abstract theories, the narrative focuses on "small stories of ordinary people," illuminating shared experiences of family, belonging, and resilience. Based on more than three years of research led by Professor Zhang Yong at Zhejiang University, the book bridges documentary storytelling with academic inquiry. It reveals how African communities in Yiwu play a vital role in economic and cultural exchange, while also reflecting on the challenges and opportunities of living between worlds. With careful translation and explanatory notes for international readers, Africans in China offers not only an intimate portrait of migration but also a broader perspective on globalization, cultural dialogue, and the future of China-Africa relations.
