    In 2005, spurred by a revived interest in my ethnic heritage I joined the China History Forum and the rest, as they say, is history. I moved up the moderating chain to become a Staff Administrator in 2006, and resigned the position in 2009 due to time constraints. I've done editing on the side ever since I entered the workforce. As for translation, I'm collaborating with a group of historians/translators to translate a military timeline from Chinese into English.
