About
American expat Francis Stonier has called Chongqing, China, home for nearly a decade. He first captured widespread public attention in 2022, when devastating wildfires broke out on Chongqing’s Jinyun Mountain, where he joined local volunteers in efforts to contain the blaze.
In this edition of Footprints, Francis Stonier, a professor at Southwest University in Chongqing, joins us to reflect on that extraordinary experience and share how it deepened his connection to Chongqing—its people, its culture, and the vibrant community he now proudly calls home.
