i have a friend who
came to us at the age of over 40 .Before he came to us, he worked in beijing in an important department of central government . Until now his english is not too good although he got his MS in usa. but u see now, he has succeeded in his career. even chinese senior government offcials have to ask him for help. he earns a lot of money, owns several houses in several nice states in usa: CA, MD. GA.... several houses in china: beijing, Shanghai..
so 35 is not late...it really depends on what he (not you )wants. actually nowadays, china is different from before. more and more chinese stay in china if they can have chance to develop his career. I have chance to meet a lot of chinese government officials who come to usa to visit the related department of usa government: from county to central government of china. I really feel the great changes in china.. .
It seems they do not admire the lives in usa at all. On the contrary, to some degree, they pay a little pity on us from their eyes... sighhhhhhhhhhhh
