China Can Change Your Identity

Luke Priddy talks about how his experience in China changed his sense of identity

By Xie Yi Updated Dec.2

Luke Priddy went to China in 2011 with great curiosity and little preparation, hoping to explore and observe the country from the "perspective of a newborn." Over the next four years, he immersed himself in the culture and experienced local customs and traditions. Sometimes encountering difficulties in fitting in, Luke more often experienced friendliness and generosity from the people he met and felt China had been growing on him. 

Now living in New York, Luke hosts shows on various Chinese social media platforms such as WeChat, Huajiao and Yoli about the cultural differences between China and the US, gaining many followers in China.
