Life on a super-highway in China
|||
That's how I feel about today's life in China.
Six friends met for dinner on Friday, and three of them needed to go to work on Saturday! I am not talking about scientists who work every day. These three people are doctor, law-enforcement personal, and senior engineer. Stress can cause real harm, if it's not dealt with. I am sure you all know this.
Everywhere I visited, my host was on the move. In Guangzhou, my host had to leave for a conference in the US the very next day after our conference ended. In Nanjing, my host stayed for my one-day visit, and left for Beijing the very next morning. I lectured at the NUIST on Friday; my host there was called away in a short notice and called me that morning on his way to the airport, to make sure I was on my way for my lectures. I was going to visit the Shenzhen Campus of Tsinghua University on the 13th, and just received an e-mail to move my visit to the 12th because my host has a meeting on the 13th, again in a short notice.
How do you guys (gals) handle life like this? Don't you want some peace and time for yourself?
