For most Americans, my Chinese music feels like a novelty and it's not what it is for me.

U.S.-China relations doesn't need another lawyer.

I really believe in the power of music.

I reside in a new colony for the Chinese-singing banjo player, with a population of one. At least I have something I have to do with my life.

Outside your door, the world is waiting. Inside your heart, a voice is calling. The four corners of the world are watching. So travel, daughter, travel. Go get it, girl.

I've noticed that the more I open up, the more I learn.

I would still describe China as a vast, invigorating puzzle that will never make sense to my western upbringing.
