Ian Johnson writes features and essays for The New York Times, The New York Review of Books, as well as other publications. He was twice nominated for the Pulitzer Prize and won in 2001 for his coverage of China. His latest book, The Souls of China: The Return of Religion After Mao, describes China's religious revival and its implications for politics and society. Xie Ding has established a name for himself in China for delivering fresh and real stories under the “NoonStory” non-fiction brand he developed with jiemian.com, and he is currently developing a new column called “Beast Interviews” that will feature regular in-depth interviews from across China.
