After graduating from the National University of Singapore, Mei started her journalism career as a reporter at The New Paper. In 1999, she moved to the United States to attend Columbia University; she then joined The Wall Street Journal. She won a shared Pulitzer for her stories on China's transformative process. She is believed to be the first Malaysian to win a Pulitzer. Her stories on China's migrant workers won a Human Rights Press Award from Amnesty International and the Hong Kong Correspondents Club, and awards from the Society of Publishers in Asia and the Society of Professional Journalists. She is currently a fellow at think tank New America.

The John Fisher Zeidman ’79 Chinese Studies Endowment was established by John’s family and friends to perpetuate his belief that Chinese-American relations will prosper if students begin to study Chinese language, history, and culture at the secondary level.
