Despite living miles away from our birth country -- China, we are curious about:
To answer these questions, we invited 2 friends who've experienced both sides but made different choices.
=== Introducing our guest ===
Ge Qu
Having lived in China, the USA and Canada, Ge (pronounced as gəː) is a deep thinker and explorer. On the first day of secondary school in China, Tingting sneakily stood next to Ge as she ranked number 1 in the entrance exam. Luckily the friendship matured beyond grade and status in the next 10 years, during which Tingting moved to Australia and Ge completed university in China then pursued further study at the University of Pennsylvania.
Ge is now working in China and faces the unique challenge of a 'haigui' or 海龟 (sea turtle) meaning “return from abroad.”
Wendy Bai
Wendy Bai is a good friend and trusty advisor of KaKa. They get to know each other through work and then the friendship grew rapidly from all the common value and interests. Wendy has a very impressive resume in both China and Australia.
She graduated from one of the elite universities in China.
Subsequently, she went to work for some of the most iconic global companies. In early 2010, she left her comfort zone and built her own tech start-up. About 6 years ago, she made another courage move to bring her family, career and dream to Australia.

===This Season of TingTing and KaKa’s ==
While we adjust to a new norm of working under an unprecedented COVID lockdown, KaKa quitted her job and reconnected with her purpose after a 2-month career break while Tingting just began hers.
This season we answer the question “What is work?” through brutally honest and fun conversations with our friends, colleagues and loved ones.
