    003 - Dr. Zihong Guo from Xiantao, China

    Dr. Zihong Guo, engineering and technical marketing professional, discusses growing up in "Double Dragon Village" outside of Xiantao in Hubei Province, China not far from the provincial capital of Wuhan, a name that you may have heard about in the news recently. Zihong and I talk about what he learned growing up on a commune farm, what life was like before email and social media, the benefits of *not* being the oldest son, the changes to China in the last 30 years as he's lived over here in America, moving to the Eastside after attending the University of Washington, being a Chinese-American in the time of COVID, and our shared appreciate for the 2019 Lulu Wang film "The Farewell." And Zihong shares how his appreciation for family and society have grown from his time in both cultures.
