As a kid, I wanted to be as American as possible. Now, I want to be more Chinese.
I used to reply, 'Boston,' very matter-of-factly. I grew up there. I'm American. I speak English. It was a defensive answer, like: 'Don't challenge me.'
A moment that changed me: I stepped into the boxing ring and decades of quiet anger lifted
Most importantly, discovering boxing became a powerful channel for my bottled-up rage. It transformed my anger into strength and resilience, altering my relationship with myself.
