I met Brendan in the summer of 2018 in Isreal, when he was helping out the Chinese men's lacrosse representative team during the world championship. My first impression of Brendan, aside from his love for the sport of lacrosse, was that he spoke fluent Chinese and seriously considered China as his current "home." Today, I will talk to Brendan about his journey in China and his view on living in China as a foreigner.
