In the fall of 2018, I left at the height of my career in China to pursue my doctoral study in Communication in the United States. Not that I was dissatisfied with my career, on the contrary, I have fond memories of the great students, colleagues, and exceptionally valuable experiences I had when I was a tenure track faculty member at Beijing Foreign Studies University. However, I believe the meaning of life should not be restricted to what has happened in one’s life, but what has not. I believe a person should not be defined by his or her age, gender, or background, but by the courage, passion, and endeavor to always improve oneself and pursue what is meant for a truly worthwhile life.
