Duan Yongping doesn't have to recruit you. China may lack many things, but it never lacks people. Look at someone like Qi Tongwei—brilliant, ambitious, always saying, "Teacher, I really want to move up." There are plenty of them lining up. Even if the external force were strong enough, it would still refuse to chase you down, insisting on continuously changing you, because that wouldn't be worth it.
