East meets west love affair


Two generations ago, my family decided to move east and explore new territories. A fascination, admiration, and certain level of adventure certainly played a role. A love affair that I had already during early teens. Living in Shanghai was a true dream and returning for my PhD and onward research was almost too good to be true. This very research also connected my partner and me, an MD PhD with family originating from Shanghai. How can the world be so small? Now, my immediate family is also connecting east and west.

“We need more of this!” a lovely black New Yorker said to us! I couldn’t agree more. We need to unite and see the other side of the world, in order to appreciate and understand each other. The more we approach and accommodate each other, the more we see how similar and like-minded we are.

Global citizens are shaped by experiences, appreciation, and respect for others, always with a curious mind.
