Episode 016 Global Roots: A Chinese Scientist's Search for Belonging (English)
from Cross-cultural Stories · host Ray
In this special episode, the tables are turned as podcast host Ray, me, becomes the interviewee. Gently guided by Stanford volunteer Brad's insightful questions, I open up about my journey across three cultures: China, South Korea, and the United States. I share my upbringing in China's Henan province, how living in Korea helped me find a self that felt "seen," and my navigation between career and passion as a research professional. I delve into why living abroad strengthened my connection to my Chinese roots and what ultimately inspired me to create a podcast dedicated to capturing cross-cultural stories. This is more than a personal narrative; it's a genuine conversation about identity, belonging, and the pivotal turns in life's path. I hope this episode could resonate you whoever you are.
