Malawi is a small country in the inland of southeast Africa and the hometown of Masawani Jereh. On a hill on the edge of the forest, there is a small village of 120 people named Emchakachaken. Jere is not only the chief of Ngoni, but also the leader of this village.

Most Malawians live in rural areas and engage in agricultural activities. Of all the 6,000 Ngoni people, most are descendants of Zulu people in South Africa, and most are timber traders. The villagers in Emchakachaken village don't have their own computers or televisions, but Jere, as a chief, needs to keep in touch with modern society, so he owns a BlackBerry and creates a Facebook account.

Jere last logged in in April, when he was shocked by a report on Facebook. His friends on the Internet are discussing this brave new president of NBA. He just ordered the permanent dismissal of the owner of the longest team in the league, but his racist remarks were leaked. "Yes, that's right," suddenly, the chief seemed to hear the powerful words of the new president of NBA.

"The voice is Xiaohua."

1974, Jere's father was appointed as Malawi's ambassador by the United Nations, and he moved to Westchester with his father. Three years later, on 1977, Jerry, a student from Rui High School, attended a family gathering in Rui, new york. Although Jere is bent on integrating into the new school, as one of the few black students in his class, no one gives him a helping hand. At this party, children raised their glasses before going to New Rochelle to watch Rocky horror show. Just as Jere wanted to fit in, a freshman with slender limbs and clear eyes jumped out and introduced himself. "He was Adam Xiao Hua," Jill recalled. "Our biggest similarity is that neither of us drinks."

Rye is an upscale suburb of new york City, close to the border of Connecticut, where there are 65,438+05,000 rich executives and investment bankers from all walks of life. Xiao Hua's father, Ed Xiao Hua, is one of the most famous labor lawyers in New York State, and his mother, Melba Xiao Hua, is a teacher and a community activist. Xiao Hua grew up in an oversized Georgian villa with a block-sized French garden in Long Island Bay. In Rye High School, he is not only a student, but also a monitor, a member of the cross-country running team and Garnet &; The editor-in-chief of the black newspaper, with the help of a gentle broker in the street, played the stock market. Mas, also known as Jerry, is a football star who is tortured by homework. But he and Xiao Hua have more in common than their backgrounds.

When Xiao Hua/Kloc-0 was 0/0 years old, his parents divorced and he moved to an apartment in Manhattan with his father. By the age of 14, all three brothers and sisters of Xiao Hua had gone to college, while his mother spent the winter in Boca Raton, Florida. In this way, he stayed alone in the Great Colonial Bank. Fortunately, Mas's parents also return to Mavela regularly to let Obana Mas play together.

He was very kind to me and we soon established a brotherly relationship.

Mas said.

Xiaohua helped Mas with his history and algebra classes and invited him to watch concerts and sports events. He took Mas to a fancy restaurant and even sold his Volkswagen to Mas in installments of $2,000. "Adam made Mas feel American life." Roy bostock, a mentor and friend of Xiao Hua's youth, former chairman of Yahoo and a resident of Rye, said this.

Mas's other mentor is the monitor Regan Orirak, who is one year younger than him. The three of them formed a small team. They often drive to the rye nature center after school, eat some frozen yogurt at the Tiger Milk Cold Store, and then go to Xiaohua's house. They will get together, or study the cartoons of The New Yorker, or deconstruct the scandal of Abs Kan, or listen to earthy music. They will chew pistachios and talk all night, or watch johnny carson's programs.

"I'm an Irish Catholic," O 'Leach said. "Mas is African and Adam is Jewish. We are a strange group, but we are like a family. "

Xiaohua's mother hired a nanny named Judel Baker to work during the day. In addition, she rented a pair of transponders to keep abreast of her youngest son. She even opened a credit account for Xiaohua in Playland market, one kilometer away, which left him with a challenge: therefore, when he 15 years old, Xiaohua was sometimes forced to drive to the market without a license. "I think this experience enabled Xiao Hua to acquire more skills earlier than others," O 'Leark said. "You don't have to hesitate, also don't have to ask for advice from one thousand people. You just need to finish it because no one around you has done it. "

Xiaohua is an international child. He can cook Easter brunch comfortably at the Blind Creek Country Club, or sit in Carnegie Hall and enjoy the textile exhibition. He used to imitate their movements in school talent shows, put on pink skirts and so on. During his stay at Duke University, in order to thank his roommates for helping him find his father on the day he moved into the dormitory, Xiao Hua once introduced his freshman roommate to Al Green and Guo Dehua, then mayor of new york.

While we were all reading The Wall Street Journal, Xiao Hua read The Wall Street Journal and The New York Times's editorial roommate Jim Sehrt, who is currently the CEO of Apollo Global Management, a private equity firm. In addition, Adam's campus mailbox is full of Village Voice magazine.
