Our annual Chinese New Year issue was all about China's monkeys in the Year of the Monkey, which is known to be a fun and lively year. As such, our custom illustrations strike a smart but playful tone, while offering the usual lifestyle coverage readers have come to expect from China's largest English-language magazine. Meanwhile, our cover story is a travel-turned-conservation piece profiling the endangered primates who call China home, while providing readers with general trivia and zodiac predictions common to the season. Along with planning the content and production in my role as managing editor, I also penned the 7-page cover story, which was also picked up by our sister magazine in Beijing.
