A newspaper dated February 2001 captured the night the Boao Forum for Asia was founded.
Twenty-five years on, we return to the same riverside with the same story — seeking to understand what has changed, and what remains unchanged.
Through the voices of a former participant, an international observer, and a local witness, Boao unfolds across time: from rice fields and a fishing village to a global meeting ground.
The newspaper ink may fade, but the people and their stories will endure.
