Her name is Anna Sophie Loewenberg.

She is an Jewish-American filmmaker/journalist living in Beijing. Her fluency in Mandarin definitely puts me to shame. If my grandma had access to Youtube, she would definitely give me a lecture about my poor ties with the Chinese world. Haha.

Anyways, Loewenberg produced Sexy Beijing, a mini-documentary series on Youtube, which discusses some quirky things about the nation’s capital. Her documentary style takes elements from Sex and the City’s Carrie Bradshaw, where she, as a similar thirty-something, narrates her inquisitive thoughts about the transitioning Chinese culture and documents her encounters with its people.

The episode, Lost in Translation is a must see. She discusses some of the very creative English names Chinese people have come up with for themselves.

Here’s the a list of episodes:

• Lost in Translation {Highly recommended)


• Sexy Christmas
• Weddings Gone Wild
• Country Loving
• Looking for Double Happiness
• Jew Brew
• Anna May Wong
