Write our own diaries.
Shen Shen has often reminded us to write our own diaries well. Here, we keep the small everyday pages of Vancouver ShengMi: care, courage, stubborn brightness, and the people who make this community feel real.
Every entry begins with a person worth seeing.

Read DiaryEvery member is more than just a username, and more than just someone who loves Shen Shen.
Behind every person, there is a life of their own: where they come from, the stories they carry, their emotions, their flesh-and-blood reality. It was only when I came closer that I began to see what vast inner worlds lay behind those bright, lively smiles.
Together, we are writing our own Vancouver ShengMi diary.
