    Very interesting interview! Katherine is an absolutely amazing young lady! An engineer, marathoner, swims across the Yangtze river, distance bike rider, teaches herself Hindi, and then teaches herself Mandarin, etc., etc. Damn, she's intelligent, attractive, powerful, motivated, friendly, and open minded. Go, girl ! Nicely done, Noel :)

    When I was a student, I met a young American boy. He said that his aim was on normalization of America-China relation. At that time, I thought this high-end goal was for top politicians. Now I realize that it is the common people like Noel and Katherine who contribute the relationship of the two great countries. It is often the case that the top politicians contribute negatively to the relationship.

    Even though people from China are truly going to travel to US or US will allow them to come here. They will never have a good experience in US as Katherine has in China because based on the skin colors and where the people coming from they won’t be treated as respectful as the way how Katherine has been treated by Chinese people in China especially after Trump got elected and after pandemic begins . Even people like us who live here in United States we are free to go to places and those places where most people are non-Asian is not as safe to go anymore . We can only choose to go to a place that has mixed of different kind of people instead of just areas Like Texas Virginia Oklahoma are unsafe to travel. Even though some of the states or cities are very beautiful but those countryside may not be suitable for Asian because there is no other color except Caucasian . It is very dangerous for any Asian elderly or Asian woman to go out now because Asians are being attacked by others now . However people who are racist & attacked Asian Americans and harmed us either they did to Asian since 150 years ago or they did recently , they cannot represent all American at least they do not represent Katherine at all. She must understand how hard it’s to have fear living in a place just to be able to keep our family to be safe . Katherine should be very understandable because she is so passionate about environmental, enjkt to explore different places even spent so much time to learn different languages, she makes people feel interesting, relaxed and fun to listen to her & watch her video . She is passionate about life . She has high motivation to learn and her curiosity in China is also giving her more opportunities to be able to see more and learn more things then most people not to mention her boyfriend has made a big impact to her life . Her major will be very useful to help many places and billions of people in China . I hope she will continue to work on to her and her boyfriend her goals and enjoy her journey with her boyfriend in China . We enjoy her videos very much now .. thank you for inviting her to your talk show . All the Best thanks so much for sharing 🙏💕
