It’s with heavy regret that I must admit it is unfortunate I was born Chinese. If that seems like a self-defeating statement from someone who doesn’t respect himself, well that’s not the case; I love being Chinese and being part of a deep and storied culture, just as I love the fact that I get to witness in my lifetime the rise to prominence of a great nation whose time has been long in the making. You know – my people. However, my ethnicity was never so problematic for me before I came to China a few years ago; you see, I have the unfortunate disadvantage of being a foreigner who looks Chinese.
