This is my first day working in the 4th Special Zone in eastern Shan State, Myanmar.
I called my dad. Dad asked me how I felt? I said, it's okay, but dad, if your daughter is not recognized for her work as an elite in Jinjiang, you must take me in.
Dad laughed twice first, and then told me in a sentimental tone: Girl, Dad believes you can do it!
