brother was fourteen. She taught at a school of dress
design. I studied English at university. Then I got a job
with an advertising agency as an assistant. I studied
English so I could get a good job with a good
company. In 1980 I went abroad with a friend. We
spent a month in California. Then I worked for a

8. . They didnt want me to come to
Englandꎬ but now I work in London for a Chinese
newspaper.
