a writer and researcher from near the west side of LA and Santa Monica. I am in visiting China to present my research, help my advisor hold a conference to open up a major research center and for my ph.d dissertation conduct a large survey of Chinese ex-immigrants (those who once wanted to immigrate into another county but then after they lived in that country changed their mind and returned to China). If you know anyone in China who is that type of person please introduce me to them. I can pay both you (for the referral) and them (for an anonymous one hour interview) 100rmb. All my interviews are anonymous and confidential and IRB-approved by our UCLA's Human Subjects Protection, and if you choose not to be included in the book I will later published you can let me know and I will just include you in my dissertation.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing
