If you had caught me straight out of college in the halls of the Vermont State House where I was a lobbyist in training and asked me what I was going to do with my life, I would have told you that I'd just passed the Hanyu Shuiping Kaoshi, the Chinese equivalency exam, and I was going to go study law in Beijing, and I was going to improve U.S.-China relations through top-down policy changes and judicial system reforms.
Se me atopasen ó rematar a universidade, na Vermont State House onde facía prácticas para  formar parte de grupos de presión e me preguntasen que ía  facer coa miña vida eu contestaríalles que xusto aprobara o HSK, o exame oficial de chinés, e que ía estudar dereito en Pequín e que ía mellorar as relacións entre os EE.UU. e China a través de cambios políticos de carácter vertical e mediante reformas do sistema xudicial.
