I WAS inspired by a YouTube video about China (then and now) in a forum featuring Weijian Shan, the renown Chinese financier and author of the book Out of the Gobi, and Tom Friedman, the New York Times Pulitzer Prize-winning columnist. Their conversation and views were very insightful and enlightening.
I am no Shan or Friedman and have made no significant contribution to this world. However, I have watched the world go by since I became aware of my own existence, and remember some of the momentous events that have happened around me or were told to me.
