Well, it was a series of events that led to to stay for so long in Shanghai. You know, life. Can share though that when I arrived something just clicked. 

Recall my father saying when I was young that in life you have two homes. The one you were born into and the one you make. Shanghai, for me, was the latter. 

As for what keeps me here, well that would just be the environment. China is honestly a meritocracy in terms of what you put in you get out. And I’ll stress, #China is far more than what is contained in the headlines. I actually agree with nearly all the critiques leveled against China. It is also true, however, that those critiques are woefully incomplete. 

Not sure if I’ve answered your question.
