My dad was Chinese-American and very conservative when it came to his family's futures. He said if I wanted to have a secure job, I should go into science. So I did what Dad said and went to medical school, but the writing bug never left me.

Mein Vater war chinesisch-amerikanisch und sehr konservativ, wenn es um die Zukunft seiner Familie ging. Er sagte, wenn ich einen sicheren Job haben wollte, sollte ich in die Wissenschaft gehen. Also habe ich getan, was mein Vater gesagt hat und zur Medizinschule gegangen, aber der Schreibfehler hat mich nie verlassen.
