Synopsis
You met Nadja Chan in Hong Kong for the first time though her mother, Eva Man Kit Wah, whom you’re close friends with. Eva got her PhD in philosophy from the University of California in Los Angeles in 2008, and then she returned to Hong Kong to teach philosophy at Beijing University there. You’re no stranger to China. In 2002, you were a visiting professor at Sichuan University in Chengdu, teaching cultural studies. You were living in Minneapolis then, and your very close friend, Sasha Matushek and you were having lunch at something called Café Royale Espresso near the University of Minnesota campus, when she said:--Hey, do you want to teach in China?--Sure, what’s the catch?--None. I have been hired by Sichuan University to recruit Anglophone teachers in Chengdu to teach there. And so that’s how you ended up in China for the first time. You flew from Minneapolis to Hong Kong nonstop, stayed with Eva for 3 days and nights, then took the train to Lo Who on the border of Hong Kong and walked across the border into mainland China and then took another train to Shenzhen, where you spent the night at an hotel. In midmorning, you took another train to Guangzhou and then you took a 42-hour train to Chengdu. You could have flown to Chengdu, but you decided to do the train trip because you wanted to see the terrain, to take in as much of China on this first visit. You paid for a sleeper that you shared with 4 passengers, one of whom was a woman. They were all Chinese. You went though Guilin, Guiyang, Chongqink before getting to Chengdu.
