The Chinese Dream - riding in on the Year of the Horse

On my first trip to China in 2008, I was quite surprised at what I experienced. Of course there is much to see in a new culture. Many things seem exotic and strange: the architecture, the food ... the customs and language.

But I was surprised because what I saw was deeply familiar. It was in the soul of every person I met. Young or old, businessman or artist, male or female, the impression was the same. Usually, I saw it in an instant.

While I am often known in China as the "son of the God of Stocks, Warren Buffett," my life in the United States has been spent making my own way in music composition. That path of my own choosing, without my father's wealth to pave the way, led to a book that has sold well in China called Be Yourself.
