The foreign protagonist of this video show is Craig from the United States. 

这位外国人，是来自美国的Craig，也是本次视频节目的主角。

Craig's story starts from an old map. Let’s look for another Wenzhou hidden in the old map through his perspective.

他的故事从一张老地图开始，让我们通过他的视角去看老地图里的温州故事。

Craig has lived in Wenzhou for 5 years and married a Chinese wife. So he is a "foreign son-in-law" of Wenzhou now. In his free time, he likes to read books, study the history of the 20th century and collect old photos. 

Craig在温州已经生活了五年，还娶了中国妻子，成了一位 “洋女婿”。在他的空余时间，他爱好看书、研究20世纪的历史和收藏老旧的照片。

Craig has told his own story to Wenzhoudaily. 

Craig向WenzhouDaily小编，讲述了他自己的故事。

When he first came to Wenzhou, he wanted to know more about this city, so he searched the Internet for related information about Wenzhou, and accidentally found that old map made in 1945. At that time, Wenzhou on the map was not called “Wenzhou”, but “Yongjia”, which puzzled Craig. Later, he also visited those former sites and scenic spots one by one based on the place names marked on the map. He was really enjoying this searching process.

在他刚来到温州的时候，想更多地了解温州这座城市，上网搜索温州的相关资料，无意中发现了那张1945年的地图。那时地图上的温州还不叫温州，叫永嘉，这让Craig感到很疑惑。后来，他还根据地图上的地名与景点，一一去寻访，他对这样的过程非常有兴趣。

In this video show produced by WenzhouDaily, we took him to the former site of the British Consulate General on Jiangxin Island in Wenzhou. 

这次WenzhouDaily的视频节目里，我们还带他走进了江心屿上的英国驻温总领事馆旧址。

In addition, we also helped him solve his questions and confusion about the map by making an appointment for him with Wenzhou local geographical and cultural author. 

此外，还通过温州本土地理文化作者，帮他解决对地图的疑问。

In the next phase, Wenzhoudaily will organize more experienceactivities to lead foreign friends who are interested in Wenzhou’s culture to feel the charms of Wenzhou at close quarters.

下阶段，Wenzhoudaily还将组织更多的体验活动，带领对温州文化感兴趣的外国友人近距离感受魅力温州。
