." In the book, he chronicles his journey from his native China — as a Canadian immigrant, then failed accountant and finally successful superhero actor.
After university, Liu’s parents worked and began to dream of emigrating from the country. Eventually, they moved to Canada, where they worked as engineers. Liu stayed behind for a time with his grandparents and later joined his parents in Canada.“Their entire definition of success is so closely tied with academic achievement,” Liu says. “And so the path forward for me, according to them, was excelling in science and engineering or medicine or some field.
“I don't necessarily defend or justify those actions,” he says. “But I think, looking back and just feeling the anxiety that my parents must have felt at the time of having sacrificed and worked so hard to be able to give their son every possible opportunity. … It was that feeling of frustration of like, ‘What is this kid doing with everything that we've given him?’ ”
Before securing the role of a lifetime, though, Liu tried first to become an accountant. This attempt to please his parents lasted eight months, before he was laid off. But his early roles, he says, could be deeply stereotypical – like when he played a Japanese mobster. He hopes that his book helps to shed light on Asians in Canada and the United States, and helps people not to dismiss immigrants with accents, such as his own parents.
'which LED to conflict,' you mean?
Led, not lead. Why do so few understand that simple grammar?

Great article.
So the high expectations no longer “lead” to conflict. The conflict is in the past, so the high expectations “led” to conflict. NPR has the lowest paid middle school students running their Twitter account.

Sorry, it's my thing: it's spelled 'led.'
