Mandy Lu ’14 Featured on NPR’s “All Things Considered”

NPR’s “All Things Considered” program recently aired a story about Mandy Lu ’14, who this summer returned home to China for the first time in two years. In the segment, Lu speaks of trying to relate to her family during her visit.

“Whenever I cross the border between my two worlds, for the first few days, I feel like I’m in a daze,” she says.

“I have to find an identity for myself in a place that’s so familiar and yet not familiar at all. And I’m all on my own whenever that happens, because no one around me knows my other world — or the kind of person I am in my other world.”

Lu, who is from Huanan, China, is a psychology major and Bonner Scholar.
