A Brilliant Guy from China
Mentioned LiJian in my last posting. Who is he anyway?
LiJian was someone Nicholas met in Beijing while on his way to Singapore to look for a job. As it happened, LiJian was also coming to Singapore. They eventually arrived in Singapore a ocuple weeks apart.
Nicholas was putting up at my place and naturally he introduced LiJian to my family. I am not sure what it was about LiJian, he so impressed my mother that she still asks me about him every now and then.
As for me, I will always remember LiJian for his intelligence, his helpfulness and the something about him. Those weekends he spent at my place fixing my computer will take a long while to fade from my memory. Another amazing thing about LiJian is that he never seemed to have aged at all. He has changed so much in so many different ways. There is now not a clue that he was from China unless he discloses the fact to you. The way he dresses these days, his accent, even his mannerism are so Singaporeanized. Even his hairstyle has changed. The only thing that remained the same appears to be his age. He hasn't aged a bit.
