问： Best thing about your neighbourhood?
韩某 （40岁，男，望京，北漂艺人） 答： It’s very close to my studio and lots of other artists live there too.
问： How has Beijing changed since you’ve been living here?
韩： I think Beijing is getting better and better, especially the nightlife. Also, I think Beijingers have changed. They’re more open now and less conservative than before. Young people in Beijing put the same emphasis on work and pleasure now; before it was all about work.
问： What do you think of the way so much of Beijing’s heritage has been demolished?
韩： I think it’s a pity that the hutong are disappearing, but it’s an inevitable part of China’s progress.
问： Favourite historic site?
韩： The Forbidden City. Although, I don’t think it has much to do with people’s lives now.
问： Favourite street snack?
韩： I’m from Sichuan and the street food you get there is much better than anything you can find in Beijing.
问： Best and worst things about living in Beijing?
韩： The best thing is the chance to have cultural exchanges with other artists from abroad. The worst things are the weather and the pollution. But I don’t worry about it too much.
