Liu was making a video to promote her organization, and invited Crossman to join in. He agreed, gladly.
From then on, Crossman decided to become a volunteer.
"He asked me to give him a red armband," Liu says. The armband is the symbol of the volunteers, and Crossman is very proud of his.
"If I become a volunteer, I can make more friends," he says. "I feel special with the armband."
However, the seemingly carefree Crossman had one big problem: his visa expired and his company no longer had an office in Beijing. He could no longer get a work visa.
To solve the problem, Crossman applied for a student visa while enrolling himself in a Chinese language course. But the visa will expire in September, and he is thinking about what to do.
One thing is for sure: Crossman does not want to leave Beijing.
When Crossman first came to Beijing there were just two subway lines, by the end of 2016 the city was home to 18 subway lines with 288 stations.
So, does he like the new Beijing or the old one? Crossman finds it hard to tell.
"In different periods I had different lives: married life, life with the children and life alone," he said. "Now I just enjoy living here."
