Raymond Zhou
Zhou shies away from the big issues that everyone is familiar with;instead,he focuses on controversies that cannot be explained away with broad black-and-white strokes.His keen insight,sometimes infused with biting humor,adds a multidimensional hue to what would otherwise be regular issues of the week.
What makes Zhou stand out is his unique perspective and his acute rationality.He refuses to join in crowd-pleasing choruses,and he does not take any preconceived stands.He appreciates complexity and encourages the reader to do the same.
