Dr. William N. Brown is a business professor at southern China's Xiamen University. He moved to the coastal city with his wife and sons in 1988 and became the first foreigner to obtain permanent residence in Fujian in 1992.

Having lived in Fujian for 32 years, Dr. Brown is often locally referred to as the city's most famous foreigner. He was presented with a Friendship Award by the Chinese government, the highest honor for foreigners living in China, and was also conferred the title of honorary citizen of Fujian
