概要
In many Asian families, success often follows a familiar path: doctor, engineer, or another “safe” profession.
In this clip on #OldAsianLady, Wen Shaw reflects on growing up with these expectations — navigating parental influence, academic pressure, and the “right” career path. After failing a crucial entrance exam, Wen pushed himself through 6 months of intense self-discipline to prove he could succeed and ranked among the top students nationwide.

This episode explores the complicated space between parental influence, cultural values, and the paths we eventually create for ourselves.
