Hello all. My online alias for this forum is 'skorf' (we live in interesting times in the Western world, I have no illusions about the potential reach of mass surveillance in the West, but I take comfort in the fact that my political views can't be charged as illegal activities... yet). I was born in China but moved to the West at a young age. I am a junior doctor in the West at the moment. I read extensively and have a decent academic background. I am interested in moving back to China, not for any monetary factors, I am excited by China's progress of development and would love to contribute towards the positive development of Chinese society.
I would like to learn hanyu, I am fluent in conversational Chinese with my parents but I can't read or write. I understand being a doctor in China is not as comfortable or well paid as it is in the West. On the positive side, my parents are supportive of me and, like myself, am not ashamed to be Chinese and we have a couple million dollars (in our country) worth of assets, mostly in property. My parents and I immigrated initially with maybe a thousand dollars of assets, and we have obtained our wealth through hard work, frugal saving and consistent investing. We also have relatives in China who we keep in contact, mostly working or middle class.
I am humble enough to realise I am not anywhere near talented enough to be a Qian Xuesan or Ren Zhengfei, but, it is 2025 and Chinese dreams are well and truly alive. I am thinking of eventually studying in China (which would be realistic from a financial point of view) and hopefully eventually getting a job there. I have an interest in AI.
Not that I want that role right now, but if any very former members are still around, maybe they'll recognize me as well
