A MOMENT TO CONSIDER

A chance meeting in Shanghai reunites Kefei with the colleague who shared his first day in Silicon Valley decades earlier. The encounter recalls the uncertainty of changing professions and the companionship that made a new beginning less solitary.

Looking back across Shanghai, California, and New York, he sees overlapping circles rather than a straight career path. Returning to familiar people and places becomes a chance to recognize both continuity and reinvention.

A reading note on the published post. The complete piece, photographs, and conversation are on Koffeemocha.
