A MOMENT TO CONSIDER
From Pleasanton, Kefei reflects on disagreement surrounding a Tongji alumni event in New York that he did not attend. Drawing on community conversations, he distinguishes an event's potential value from questions about representation, communication, and coordination.
The essay asks how new initiatives can respect existing relationships while making room for change. Distance becomes an opportunity to consider what transparent collaboration might require, and how disagreement can reveal a community's shared concerns.
