His feed is a constant flow of fascinating old photos and video clips from China, documenting everything from how Beijing residents greeted each other back in 1908, to early color clips of Shanghai street life, and “Ancient Chinese punishment, 1870s-1900s“. If you’re on Twitter, you should follow him.
