"For a freelance journalist paid by the article and without the support of a media outlet," says Cheung, "the first challenge is raising travel expenses." She explains that in contrast to Western independent journalists, whose work is often funded through donations, "My travel expenses come out of the savings I've slowly hoarded from my writing income."
「做為只賺稿酬、沒有媒體奧援的獨立記者，籌措旅費是第一個挑戰，」張翠容說，相較於西方的獨立記者以捐款支持採訪，「我的旅費都是用稿費慢慢攢出來的。」
