"The world is so wonderfully massive and I wanted to see as much of it as I could", this sentence has been rated as "the most emotional resignation letter" by Chinese netizens. Going on a trip at any time is the dream of many people. But to Joseph, it is a simple thing. Joseph, a 68-year-old American, is a foreign teacher at a Chinese university. He can speak six languages and has traveled to 62 countries!
After his retirement, Joseph wanted to apply for a talent green card to enjoy his old age in China, but he was told that non-senior talent foreign teachers couldn't apply for it over 60 years old, which meant that he had to be appointed as an associate professor to stay in China. After many efforts, Joseph was awarded an associate professor and successfully applied for a talent green card.
