Me in 10 seconds

I'm the son of immigrants, oldest of 3 boys.

Portland native. I've lived in Seattle, Shanghai, Beijing, Tianjin, Düsseldorf, and Tokyo.

I'm back in Portland now, catching up with friends and family while getting back into a steady routine around investing, AI, basketball, church, and good movies/shows.

I love technology, stories, creating, learning, and traveling.

1 Year in China cover

1 Year in China (2025)

By Brian Lau

These pages hold my thoughts, stories, and observations from my year in China (2023-2024) —a time that shaped me and remains etched in my heart forever.

I hope this story rekindles my friends' memories of their time in China and also for my friends back home, hope it shows a glimpse of what I saw there.
