She grew up during the Cultural Revolution in China under Mao's regime. This is a period of time historically that I've been interested in since I can remember. My dad grew up during the same time in Shanghai and like Ping Fu shared similar experiences. My dad's journey in Shanghai to starting a new life in America and his hunger to always learn more informs the person I am today. Being able to endure the darkest of times in China and still come up top on the other side is something I've always looked up to. It's inspirational to hear Ping Fu put so much emphasis on love and compassion, even though she's endured so much hate and violence.
I wanted to share this article because not only is now a fascinating time in the 3D revolution, but it's important to keep our spirits up even at the lowest of lows because like Ping Fu emphasizes: life is like a mountain range, even when you've reached the top of one peak you'll need to come down before you can enjoy a different view from the top of a different mountain. I know I'd like to climb a few different mountains in my career and my life at large.
