Photo: International Association for Media and Communication Research The long and winding road Steelhead. Seafaring rainbow trout. Anadromous oncorhynchus mykiss. Steelhead are a puzzling fish. Are they salmon? Are they trout? Apparently, oncorhynchus mykiss’s life outcome is highly path dependent. Some spend their entire lives in the rivers and streams of their birth, feeding on insects, snails and leeches. In adult form, these homebodies are delicate and pretty with mottled olive-green backs, silvery bellies and a pink lateral band. “Do you have a plan B?” asked a family friend. Stupidly, we did not. Han Feizi Junior would be the second student from his mucky muck international school in Hong Kong to attend Tsinghua University. As bilingual as this school claims to be, English was still the default language and its graduates were funneled to the usual suspects – Ivy-plus, Oxbridge, near peers and wannabes. Chinese universities were not popular. Not even Tsinghua. Perhaps especially not Tsinghua. Fly fishermen pursue rainbow trout with dainty nymphs, dry flies and streamers.
