The algorithm took her to videos of people struggling to survive typhoon-strength winds and flash floods.“I never experienced a typhoon. I don't know how it will feel and what will happen. I just have seen it on the news,” says the 28-year-old from Chongqing in south-west China. “So that's why I want to go there to have a safe place to experience it and learn something.” Continue reading......
