right after college, and then I eventually went back to China.
But that journey or that ping pong or that boomerang of back and forth wasn't as smooth as it is after everything has happened.
And I'm telling
telling you about the story.
But all of the cross-section of the technology, commerce piece, and the cultural piece, it really came together when I received that LinkedIn in-mail.
It came from a VP at Alibaba at the time.
He was employee 52.
Funnily enough, he wrote that in his in-mail.
And at the time, Alibaba was already hundreds of thousands of employees.
So when someone says, I was employee 52, you kind of pay attention.
First,
You know, like everyone, I was like, is this spam?
Because we all get a lot of those as well.
But then I went, I read more into it, his background and whatnot.
And it was an invitation to a event at Asia Society.
Asia Society is this think tank that we have in New York City where I live, where at the time I was already going to every other week or so because I was part of this young leaders program there.
So I was already familiar with the location and I thought, why not go?
Because I would have already been there already.
um so i went and funnily enough at this event i bumped into my high school roommate so someone from my past life decades ago um and i said what are you doing here um and then she said oh i didn't know that you were thinking of going back to china also to work
I said, I actually didn't have that thought at all.
