Description

My dad and I discuss his childhood experiences of family life and academics in China, and how they differed from mine in America. We reflect on his career pursuits as a police officer, tour guide, and sushi chef due to his passion for and knowledge of Japanese culture. He also recounts his firsthand experience of 9/11 as he worked only a block away from the World Trade Center, and how it changed his perspective on America.
