Help people find comfort outside of their comfort zone

Born in a small village near an ancient town in northern China, I never ventured beyond the township until I was admitted to Peking University in Beijing. That was my first time taking a train.

Eight years later, I experienced another first—a long flight to the United States. My journey began at JFK Airport.

Two years later, another long flight brought me back to Beijing.

Another two years passed, and I landed at San Francisco Airport.

Two years after that, I found myself flying back to Beijing once again.

Finally, two years later, I settled in the Midwest of the United States.

Adjusting to a new culture was far from easy. It took years before I made my first friend outside of my own cultural background. Fortunately, over time, I built more and more meaningful connections. The journey wasn’t without its challenges. While there were plenty of joyful moments, it was the unavoidable tough times that taught me the most.

The pain, stress, and hardships I encountered shaped who I am today and helped me discover my purpose in life. I share this to inspire you to reflect and find your own answers. Remember: Life is hard, but it has purpose and meaning—and that makes it all worthwhile.
