A portrait of Qianshan (Ben) Weng.

Qianshan (Ben) Weng, Multimedia Editor

Qianshan Weng is a junior studying Media, Culture and Communication and Journalism. You may pronounce his name as “chi”en-shan”, or, if it makes your life easier, just call him “Ben.” He grew up in Shenzhen, China, and has spent the last five years or so saying that he wants to learn Cantonese. The answers to the questions “when will he finally start?” and “why is this taking him so long?” remain mysteries, even to himself. You can reach out to him at [email protected]
