He is an out-and-out "student". Because Obama entered the political arena and made certain achievements, his life has also undergone some changes - when looking for a job, someone often gives him special opportunities, allowing him to rise to the top. But this is not the result that Mark wants. He does not want to be a young bird protected by his brother's wings. He wants to be a free-flying eagle. With his own abilities, he found a satisfactory job and worked hard, and his life seemed to be developing towards what he dreamed of.

Unfortunately, the good times did not last long. After the financial crisis in 2002, the economy declined, the company was depressed, and Mark was fired by his boss. Everything seemed to be back to where it started. But Mark did not give up on himself. He sized up the situation, carefully studied the current situation, and made a major decision to change to a new environment.

Mark goes to an orphanage every week and teaches the children there how to play the piano. He believes that children need love and the influence of music. The kids loved him and would grab his fingers when he left, wanting him to stay. As the saying goes, "Good people are rewarded with good things." Probably God also appreciated Mark's charity very much, so he met his good match in China.

Mark and his wife met at a party, and he fell in love with this Henan girl at first sight. So Mark adopted the passionate and unrestrained attitude of Westerners in pursuing love, and soon the two started talking about marriage.

Mark’s Chinese language skills have reached CET-7 and he can read "A Dream of Red Mansions" and "Tao Te Ching" directly and independently, which is very rare for a foreigner. He is passionate about Chinese culture, especially the art of Chinese calligraphy. Mark said that his favorite poet is Li Shangyin, and he likes his romance and obscurity. Influenced by his native family, he enjoys Chinese family relationships because they are simple, warm and harmonious. It is precisely this kind of thinking that makes Mark attach great importance to his family and dote on his wife.
