Jonathan Kaiman | Journalist | Blogspot: March 2018

The recipient of a bachelor’s degree in cognitive science and Chinese from New York's Vassar College, Jonathan Kaiman concurrently studied the language at Qingdao University and Beijing Capital University of Business and Economics. In 2009, Jonathan Kaiman spent one year as a scholar researching folk songs with the Fulbright Research Program, which led to him pursuing a career as a journalist. During his research, he was told frequently of a folk tale about an American pilot who crash-landed near a Yi village during World War II. Years later, as a working journalist, he wrote a story about the tale for the Los Angeles Times and is producing a book on the topic for Random House.
