Do you remember what you were doing on October 6, 1982?
Perhaps not, as it was exactly 42 years ago.
But I do, because it was a special day for me – I finally “escaped” from “communist China” on that day – I left China for Japan on October 6, 1982!
No, I did not leave China in a boat, nor did I sneak out of China in darkness. Instead, together with 149 other “top” Chinese students, I left China with a huge honor: after being chosen by the government to pursue graduate degrees in Japan, we were warmly sent off by some government officials on that day in anticipation that we, upon completion of our studies in Japan, would all come back home, helping modernize China.

The People’s Republic of China (PRC) was born on October 1, 1949. Today, China celebrated its 75th birthday in style (President Xi vows greater national achievements, contributions to humanity’s peace, development).

The Trump phenomenon can be highlighted by three points as follows:
I am re-starting my book (“Dancing Queens & Kings”), and this is a new CFP (Call for Participation).
My new book (“Dancing Queens & Kings”) will be available at Amazon by 5/30. In this post, I will publish (1) Book reviews, (2) Acknowledgments, (3) Foreword, (4) Introduction, and (5) Afterword.
