Han Chu was the name of Fang Mo's Ivy League friend. A graduate from one of the top schools in the world who had entered the head-hunting business, this action of his had confused many of his friends and classmates.
Of course, each line of work has its own unique pride, so beyond that confusion, none of them looked down on his choice, especially in a foreign environment where personal enjoyment was placed above wealth and status. Even a professor could resign from their post to be a volunteer, so Han Chu's action when placed in such a society that regarded personal freedom highly was not so strange.
Han Chu's action might have been looked down upon in China, thinking he was wasting his talent and youth, but in foreign countries, he was praised for having the courage to pursue his individual value and purpose in life. Compared to Fang Mo, who was a model citizen in the elder generation's eyes, Han Chu was technically an example of what not to do.
