American journalist documenting China’s Reform and Opening up

Leonard, who is in charge of a financial program for ICS, has a good understanding of China’s economy. He said that the supervision of the financial industry and the security of telecommunications are issues facing every country in the world. "China's reform and opening up is deepening, mobile phones and mobile payments are at the forefront of the world. Like other countries, financial security is also a challenge."

The work for ICS has brought unlimited fun to Leonard. He once said that he liked the job very much and enjoyed working with a group of Chinese colleagues who are professionally excellent and love media work. He believes in integrating Chinese and Western cultures and letting foreign audiences understand a prosperous China more objectively and completely through his own efforts.

In fact, Leonard, who loves Chinese culture, has translated the Chinese classic Six Records of a Floating Life before. The translated book was published in 1983 by the famous British Penguin Publishing House and was selected as Chinese classical reading by many universities in the US and the Britain.

In his opinion,“compared with the life of the ancient Chinese in this book, it is interesting that although China has developed into the present stage where the material aspects have improved a lot, many aspects of human nature have not changed, such as the love of family and dedication to it."
