Introduced via Eharmony during her term as a visiting scholar at Columbia; a little surprised that she was back in Shanghai, but nothing to lose by emailing. I was right! After 15 months I visited her and found that we had everything to gain, and on Obama's Inauguration Day I proposed and she accepted. Visiting every quarter until she and her son can move here.
