The most famous city in the world is undoubtedly New York. In Central Park in Manhattan, plants and birds coexist harmoniously with humans, making it a happy living place. Surrounding the park, in thousands of buildings, reside world-renowned celebrities, Hollywood stars, CEOs of Fortune 500 companies, and new wealthy elites from China. Despite their different languages and skin colors, they share their space politely and graciously. Next to Central Park is a mile-long avenue known as “Museum Mile,” home to countless genuine artifacts from the Metropolitan to the Guggenheim, including treasures looted from China by the Eight-Nation Alliance.

New York boasts many famous avenues and streets. World-famous brand stores like LV, Chanel, and Estée Lauder are neighbors on Fifth Avenue, and many others extending to the 42nd Street and intersecting with Broadway, the birthplace of stunning musicals and home to shows such as The Lion King, Aladdin, Cats, Marry Poppins and many more. Time Square is called the crossroads of the world, bustling 24/7 with tourists capturing every moment on their iPhones. At this global crossroads stands the giant Nasdaq screen, showcasing ticker symbols of at least 350 Chinese listed companies, telling the world about their dreams from China.

Broadway is where dreams take place. The buildings around Broadway have been telling many dreams, one of which is a Chinese brand – The Haier Group. For the past 20 years, the story has continued.

In the early 1980s, at the start of China’s reform and opening-up, Haier Group, which imported a German technology from a German company called Liebour Haier. The German company insisted that the backward poor Chinese electronics in Qingdao must carry their names or at least one word/ Liebour or Haier. The Chinese company chose the later for the namesake of an ocean – “hai er “ sounds in Chinese like ocean. The company soon grew into a giant conglomerate and became China’s top brand manufacturing high quality refrigerators.In 2002, Haier took a bold step and as the first Chinese company going global and ventured into the US. They established its presence at 1356 Broadway – The Haier Building. Despite various challenges, including the fluctuating US-China relations, Haier Group has remained steadfast. People need to eat, and food needs to stay fresh, making a good refrigerator is essential. The era of eating spoiled food and drinking dirty water should never return. In the upcoming era of AI robots coexisting with humans, having a comfortable, jointly created US-China smart kitchen at home and enjoying fresh, varied, healthy meals from an open kitchen is something to look forward to, isn’t it?

Walking a few blocks down Broadway brings you to 1227 Broadway. There stands the Virgin Hotel, built by John Lam in collaboration with Richard Branson, chairman of Rolling Stone Entertainment Magazine and one of the world’s three private spaceship manufacturers alongside Elon Musk and Jeffery Bezos. Yes, the renowned Virgin Hotel is located at 1227 Broadway, New York, NY 10001 and Branson’s partner is a Chinese individual on New York soil, you didn’t read it wrong or hear it wrong.

The name Virgin signifies unexplored territory, symbolizing bold exploration and adventure. Even after Branson’s Virgin spacecraft crashed into eight pieces while returning from the moon, he stood smiling beside it, undeterred in his space suit. Mortality is inevitable, and business innovation might fail, but for whom do we live and die?

Virgin Airlines, Virgin Cruise, Virgin Hotel – Branson designed these for the future generation capable of making history. Without these visionary and skilled individuals, we wouldn’t be enjoying the benefits of AI today from the comfort of our homes. Branson aims to create a hotel where these elite genius can quietly and undisturbed explore the future world, the mysteries of the universe, and extraterrestrial life. After their tireless efforts for our comfort, they need a place to rest in a modern and an innovative hotel for the future. This hotel must be neighbors with companies like Open AI, Amazon, Facebook, Google, Microsoft, and IBM. The remarkable achievements from these technology companies and research institutes, from laboratories to markets, are not accomplished overnight. Such extraordinary technological projects and engineering studies, benefiting humanity, require an exceptional group of young talents. Without them, today’s booming US stock market might lose its vitality and competitiveness, wouldn’t it?

Branson, flying his Virgin plane (not spacecraft) over New York for ten years, sought a partner to create a future-leading, world-class hotel. Amidst New York’s lush trees and blooming flowers, he found his partner in John Lam ( or Lin Jianzhong in Chinese), who came from Hong Kong and mainland China 60 years ago. Over 50 years, Lam has become the hotel king of Manhattan. His Lam Group is renowned throughout New York and the Chinese community worldwide.

Who is John Lam? How did he achieve his success? Does he share any Chinese genes with the people who inhabit in the Haier Building? If Haier refrigerators tell the story of China’s 1 billion people rising from poverty, what story does Lam Group want to tell? If the century-old trees in Central Park dream of seeing the future world, perhaps a city’s dream is to become that one – a future city itself. The people of New York might dream of the same dream like John Lam, making their city even more beautiful and attractive. Every green leaf, every sidewalk brick, every steel plate, and every piece of spacious glass walls and windows tell the same story of dream catchers – the iron will and gentle romance combine into one , moment by moment, piece by piece.

John Lam accepted this challenge bestowed on him. He turned Branson’s dream into reality in New York City on Broadway, echoing that of Haier Group on 1356 Broadway, New York, NY 10001.

This Earth Month, we are running out of time on this planet due to the rapid pace of climate change. Could a shift in human consciousness bring the climate action we need, and could psychedelics be a catalyst? On Wednesday, April 26, 6-8:30pm at The Thought Experience, 1155 6th Avenue, made possible by ChaShaMa, join an event at the intersection of environmental, social and psychedelic consciousness. Listen to quick talks from leaders at this intersection to inspire climate solutions, engage in conversations with fellow patrons, and open your mind to how we can co-create our future. Go to Eventbrite.com and search for “psychedelics, climate action” to find the event, learn more, and RSVP!

The HBO Original four-part docuseries BRANSON, directed by Chris Smith (HBO’s “100 Foot Wave”), debuts THURSDAY, DECEMBER 1 (10:00-11:00 p.m. ET/PT) on HBO and will be available to stream on HBO Max. New episodes will debut at the same time on subsequent Thursdays.

Synopsis: Sixteen days before Richard Branson is scheduled to make a potentially historic flight as the first passenger to reach space in his own spacecraft in July 2021, the billionaire entrepreneur sits down for a conversation with acclaimed filmmaker Chris Smith, in light of the risk that lies ahead. Smith ultimately takes us on an expansive and intimate 70-year journey, from Branson’s upbringing as the son of a spirited, tough-love mother in Britain, to his pursuits of extreme, personal daredevilry that serve both to grow his businesses’ brands and feed his insatiable, lifelong thirst for high-stakes adventure. With added insight from family members, business associates, and journalists, and illustrated by decades of archival and home video footage, BRANSON reveals the ups and downs of a man driven by risk taking in both his business and personal life, reflecting on the costs and rewards of his lifelong, relentless optimism and boundary-pushing.

After dropping out of school where he struggled with dyslexia, Branson began his entrepreneurial career as a 15-year-old publisher of a student magazine and went on to become a millionaire by the age of 22 with the booming success of Virgin Records. His launch of the airline Virgin Atlantic soon followed, along with a myriad of other Virgin branded businesses with varying levels of success, culminating in the launch of Virgin Galactic, his commercial spaceflight company in 2004. His record-breaking, transoceanic boat and balloon challenges, and now his crusade to bring customers to space, have all been positioned by Branson with the Virgin brand front and center. Branson remains a complex figure, committed to both philanthropic initiatives and his own bottom line.

Participants: Alongside exclusive interviews with Branson himself, the series features his colleagues and employees, as well as insights from both business journalists and industry experts. Also included are intimate interviews with his family, including revealing excerpts from conversations with Joan, his wife of 33 years, his sisters, his daughter Holly and son Sam, and an extensive personal archive of his late mother Eve, whose lively presence in Branson’s life continues to loom large.

Episode Descriptions
Episode 1:“Words and Music”
Debut date: THURSDAY, DECEMBER 1 (10:00-11:00 p.m. ET/PT)
The series premiere explores Branson’s early years and the influence of his iconoclastic mother. As a dyslexic teenager, he leaves school at age 15 to create a magazine called Student, leading to a mail-order record business and eventually Virgin Records and Virgin megastores.

Episode 2: ”Atlantic“
Debut date: THURSDAY, DECEMBER 8 (10:00-11:00 p.m. ET/PT)
The episode tracks the launch of Virgin Atlantic and Branson’s efforts to attract media attention to his brand, including an attempt to break the trans-Atlantic speed record in a boat, and his death-defying balloon adventure across the Atlantic in 1986.

Episode 3: “Fight or Flight”
Debut date: THURSDAY, DECEMBER 15 (10:00-11:00 p.m. ET/PT)
The episode chronicles Virgin Atlantic’s battle with British Airways, ending in a libel suit win for Branson. From outsider to wealthy capitalist, Branson continues to push for world records and promotional attention for his company, setting off on a nail-biting Pacific Ocean balloon voyage. He announces plans to develop a spaceflight company to take commercial passengers into space, beginning a decade long pursuit.

Episode 4: “Space”
Debut date: THURSDAY, DECEMBER 22 (10:00-11:30 p.m. ET/PT)
The series finale tracks the arduous history of Virgin Galactic, from conception to test flights, and the controversial bid from Virgin Atlantic to obtain government support for the airline during the Covid-19 pandemic. As the first passenger flight of Virgin Galactic approaches, Branson defends the benefits of privately funded space exploration and the paradoxes around Virgin’s eco-messaging. Set for July 11, 2021, the launch day follows 17 years of research, testing, accidents, and setbacks, culminating in a successful flight in which Branson realizes his ultimate dream.

Credits: HBO Documentary Films presents BRANSON. Directed by Chris Smith; executive produced by Kate Noble. For HBO: executive producers Nancy Abraham and Lisa Heller, senior producer Tina Nguyen.
