Driven by a deep faith in China, Canadian businessman Adam McWhirter has ventured into a fresh career in the bustling city of Chongqing in southwest China, seizing the abundant prospects of this thriving city.

Chongqing is a city of skyscrapers, with a certain cyberpunk style. When McWhirter moved to Chongqing in 2007, his parents were astonished, wondering the allure of his choice.
McWhirter had done some research and had discovered that Chongqing is not only beautiful, but also one of the fastest growing cities in the world. This kindled his optimism for a future brimming with possibilities.
"I was working for a Chinese company at first, a very famous Chongqing company, and so then, I met my business partner late 2007. I have a lot of respect for the opportunity there, the company to bring me to China," said McWhirter.
A year later, he opened his own company, Maxxelli, specializing in relocation services for foreigners who move to China either to work or for a short-term stay.
Now, he sees his career growing in unison with this vibrant city.
"So the CEOs, the managing partners, the directors, the top engineers for all sorts of different companies. And so that is home search, school search, settling in some cultural training. You know, we kind of take care of the expats from the day they arrive to the day they leave," said McWhirter.
When not immersed in his work, McWhirter finds joy in conquering the nearby mountain peaks.
He has also made a lot of friends through his other leisure-time activities, which include managing a local jogging team and running an outdoor fitness club called "The Hub."
McWhirter expressed his unwavering belief in China's potential.
"I do believe in the opportunities in China, and I wouldn't be here if I didn't believe in China," said McWhirter.
