I walked around a shopping plaza area for a few hours and did some shopping and people watching. While my time in Shenzhen today was brief and not exactly packed with activity, I felt extremely fulfilled nevertheless. The simplified Chinese characters used on advertisements and the Mandarin Chinese spoken there made me feel at home. I remember the sadness I felt when I left Beijing to start my Sophomore year, and for many years I failed to understand exactly what it was that made me so sad to leave. But today, I think I&#8217;m a little closer to my answer. Home is not a place, it&#8217;s a feeling, and I was able to spend today feeling &#8220;home.&#8221; Wherever my life takes me, I hope that serendipity will allow me to continue experiencing many adventures and many homes.<\/div>\n<div class=\"yj6qo\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"adL\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div id=\":2dg\" class=\"hq gt a10\">\u00a0<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-376 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/sites.williams.edu\/asst25-hongkong\/files\/2018\/01\/2018-01-14-07.44.50-1.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"4032\" height=\"3024\" srcset=\"https:\/\/sites.williams.edu\/asst25-hongkong\/files\/2018\/01\/2018-01-14-07.44.50-1.jpg 4032w, https:\/\/sites.williams.edu\/asst25-hongkong\/files\/2018\/01\/2018-01-14-07.44.50-1-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/sites.williams.edu\/asst25-hongkong\/files\/2018\/01\/2018-01-14-07.44.50-1-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/sites.williams.edu\/asst25-hongkong\/files\/2018\/01\/2018-01-14-07.44.50-1-1024x768.jpg 1024w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 4032px) 100vw, 4032px\" \/><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>After the alumni reunion, a couple of us decided to travel to Shenzhen as it&#8217;s closer to campus than some parts of Hong Kong.
