UNC student from China translates 'The Last Dance' for Chinese NBA fans while waiting to return home

Posted May 6, 2020
A native of Qingdao, China, UNC freshman China Aiqi Sun came to Chapel Hill for its world-renowned combination of basketball and friendly campus life. He translated ESPN's "NBA Rooks" and that turned into work on "The Last Dance". The pay isn't great, but it helps out with tuition and for an avid basketball fan what cooler thing is there than this gig? (ABC 11)
