[English Section] I am an author and investigative journalist currently conducting deep-dive historical research for a major non-fiction book. The project examines the history of commercial aviation accidents as a lens to explore deeper psychological, cultural, and sociopolitical themes. I am seeking a meticulous researcher to assist with the narrative and historical construction of a core chapter regarding the 2022 China Eastern Airlines Flight 5735 incident. I welcome applicants based in mainland China, Hong Kong, or those residing elsewhere who possess significant familiarity with the regional context and the case itself. As a journalist, I require research that elevates the story beyond a technical accident report: • Archival Investigation: Locate and translate primary source materials (eyewitness accounts, contemporaneous media reports, and official documentation from 2022). • Narrative Context: Provide the sociopolitical and cultural atmosphere of China leading up to 2022. What were the defining tensions? How did the public and the media perceive the national aviation infrastructure? What were the cultural anxieties of that year? • Deep-Dive Retrieval: Assist in securing rare documentation, local press clippings, and historical context that will provide the "human" texture of the narrative. Communication: I am perfectly happy to communicate via auto-translation tools. You may provide raw source materials in the original language alongside your English translations. Terms: This is a paid freelance role. All out-of-pocket expenses (database access, document procurement) will be fully reimbursed on top of your fee. Screening Questions: 1. What local newspaper archives, university libraries, or cultural databases do you have access to? 2. Beyond technical data, are you comfortable identifying and analyzing the broader cultural/social climate of the time to assist with narrative building?
