Henrique Pissaia, the chief of staff at a Brazilian bank, embarked on a transformative journey when he decided to study in the Chinese mainland for two years. Pursuing a PhD in international economics at the University of International Business and Economics, Henrique immersed himself in a culture that values foresight and long-term planning.
\"In China, I learned the importance of the long-term view,\" Henrique shares. This perspective has significantly influenced his approach to both his personal and professional life, emphasizing patience and strategic thinking.
But it wasn't all about academics. Henrique found joy in the simple pleasures of life, especially when it came to food. \"One thing I miss most about China is dumplings,\" he admits. Back in Brazil, he often gathers with friends from around the world at Chinese restaurants to enjoy this beloved dish, considering it the most typical Chinese food. 🥟
Henrique is deeply grateful for the experiences and knowledge he gained during his time in the Chinese mainland. He looks forward to the day he can return and further explore the rich culture and opportunities that China has to offer.
