AJ Donnelly, a British actor and cultural entrepreneur, has found his second home in China.
He finds China is a land of opportunities after spending nearly 25 years in China. "For me, one of the reasons I've stayed here so long is both my affinity for Chinese culture and Chinese people, and the place itself," he said.
AJ's experience in filming the Chinese movie Snipershas reignited his passion for acting and fueled his determination to promote Chinese culture worldwide. Beijing, with its diverse cultural offerings, holds a special place in AJ’s heart. He started a cultural company dedicated to providing Chinese cultural experiences to foreigners in the city. "We just believe that if you experience traditional culture you can understand modern China even better," he says.
"This will always be my home. This will always be where my heart is," he says.
