CULTURE AND SUCCESS

摘要

On a recent steamy Saturday morning in Hong Kong I made the very slow ten-minute walk from the Hyatt Regency to the campus of the Chinese University of Hong Kong. The walk was slow because my northern Califor- nia bones found the heat and humidity oppressive, and I didn't want to arrive in a sweat-soaked shirt. But there was another oppressive factor to my day. I was scheduled to appear on campus on a panel hosted by HPAIR-the Harvard Project for Asian & International Relations. My panel's topic: The Bamboo Ceiling. What could I, a Caucasian son of the American Midwest living in California's Silicon Valley, credibly say about the bamboo ceiling?
