This Rashid, who left an extremely deep impression on Joe Ga, apart from having very bright eyes, overall looked like a local who had been in the Aqionghan mountains for many years.
But in fact, he was a 'prince' of the Northern Alliance, the son of a tribal leader.
Most of the Northern Alliance are of Tajik ethnicity, so his native language was heavily accented localized Tajik.
Yet, he was also an overseas student...
In the early cooperation between the Northern Alliance and America, tribal chiefs with a bit of status were always willing to send their children abroad.
Rashid was one of them, attending Columbia University in New York on a full scholarship.
This wasn't particularly surprising, but what shocked Joe Ga was that this Rashid was diagnosed with 'low-risk depression'...
Theoretically speaking, 'low-risk depression' is a mental illness, which for ordinary people, can lead to a dangerous disease causing schizophrenia.
