十五年前,来自美国的Tommy第一次踏上海南岛,便决定留下。从一句“喝老爸茶”的海南方言开始,他记录下椰风海韵里的烟火日常,也见证着消博会与博鳌论坛的高光时刻,以单条作品超1000万的浏览量,向世界传递海南自贸港的开放脉搏。如今在这位海外传播官的心中,海南的首字母“H”,早已有了更深的含义。跟随他的讲述,感受一位“新海南人”如何将异乡写成故乡。

Fifteen years ago, Tommy from the United States set foot on Hainan Island for the first time and decided to stay. Starting with a simple local phrase, “he lao ba cha” (have some Old Dad's Tea), he began capturing the island’s vibrant daily life, from sea breezes and coconut groves to everyday street scenes. Over the years, he has also documented major events such as the China International Consumer Products Expo and the Boao Forum for Asia. Some of his videos have received more than ten million views, becoming a window through which the world experiences the energy of Hainan’s Free Trade Port.Today, to this overseas communication officer, the letter “H” in Hainan carries a deeper meaning. Through his story, we see how one man transformed a distant island into a place he proudly calls home.
