Hong Kong, Protests, Exiled

In 2019 or 2020 after I had an unpaid internship, I was reading zadie smith. She talked about exiled princess. And it hits home of how I felt my career has been different than the ones I had in schools. Hong Kong protests have made me think about a career involved writing and video works. Most people don’t think about governments at all in their careers. But nowadays I think of it often. How it works and how it gives people money. I hang out with lifan Zhou only after I graduated. Her career moves seem to be mirroring mine. I asked her why she doesn’t do advertising anymore. She cannot come up with a valid answer. This is insane to me.is she happy with the jobs she got?
