As a student, a chance encounter with an American foreign exchange student changed her view of the world. He showed her a pocket version of the US Constitution and the Declaration of Independence
“The Constitution and Declaration of Independence brought me to this country. I heard about it from another third-year student, which is a college degree in China. An American student introduced me to the concept of individuality and personal liberty and that all men are created equal. What a concept. I never heard that before, I never heard that under communist rule!”
