Although she had blossomed attractively herself, Chen remained a bystander, attending university in Canada, earning a bachelor's degree in commerce and business administration. She accepted a job as a credit analyst at BNP Paribas in Hong Kong after graduation...
...anti the people who took America into the Vietnam War." The Quiet American dares to pose questions with no easy answers?perhaps no answers at all.
