Eric Mu met the founder of Danwei, Jeremy, in the summer of 2007 when he was an university student doing a temporary job as a shop attendant in a bookstore. It was Jeremy's encouragement that rekindled his childhood dream of making a living through writing and in English−something not even in his dream. He is currently writing newspaper-based stories and translations for Danwei. Alice Xin Liu joined Danwei at a time of global economic recession — December, 2008. She previously worked as a news assistant at The Guardian's Beijing bureau and as an editor at the then that's Beijing (now the Beijinger) magazine.

A graduate of Durham University, UK, Liu's roots are in Beijing, her birth city. For Danwei she writes about domestic and foreign news media, Chinese Internet culture, books on China, and other media and cultural topics.
