80 years old (Born on March 08, 1945)
Happy Birthday, John! Another year wiser and still effortlessly bridging economics, media, and culture—you're practically the Marco Polo of academia. From Lincoln's lecture halls to Shanghai Theater Academy’s vibrant stages, your insights have inspired countless minds (and probably confused a few economists along the way).Your recent successes continue to amaze us all; clearly you've mastered economic development better than most people master chopsticks. May this birthday bring you as much joy as explaining complex theories brings confusion—and eventual enlightenment—to eager students worldwide. Here's wishing you another fantastic journey around the sun filled with laughter and adventure!
