Lu's early life

The cultural revolution has been a boon for Lu. She would travel alot as her father would be designing West Points---places for the Navy recruits to train. Lu would be in school for 5 months more or less, here and there. Sometimes the class would be a repeat and sometimes she would have to catch up. But always she would rise to the top of the class. Her hand would go up and answer the questions.

Her father was assigned to Tangu when Lu was 16. At Tangu, too much fluoride in the water and She again was in the class and the teacher saw she excelled, he liked her. Five openings at the Naval Research Institute: driver, cook, work on a machine, ?, and wind transformers. The teacher sent her to the institute because it does research and she would be around that and be good influence.

Winding transformers required 1000 winds typically, of hair thin wires, without overlap. Then they would tell her how to design them---we want a 5V output with 2A, etc. Then they told her to go get the materials. So this 16 yo would go to sales meetings, all men, she was very confident. Then Lu would travel on the trains, meet men who'd propose. She went with Yang and his wife to his wife's sister's. She had a boy who played violin beautifully. Lu and him went to the movies and held hands. But Lu lost interest when she left. He failed the test the first time to get to college, so Lu thought him a loser.

In Advance English Class in college, Lu was the only one to speak in English, everyone else took it for translation. The teacher was so impressed, that he insisted everyone else. Her classmates thought she was so bold to speak English.

Lu's theory is that she has a core of emotions and millions of sensors causing her core to react. Her personality is entirely genetic. No purpose.
