Why Did Jensen Huang's Parents Fly in Overnight?

Jensen Huang says five of the six people on the medal stage were born outside the United States. He received the National Medal of Science for NVIDIA. The company started with a graphics chip for gamers and has shipped 1.67 billion units. He calls it the only computing architecture in every cloud and every computer company, and the infrastructure that powers the intelligence of society.

His parents had 24 hours' notice. His father did not own a suit, so he bought one, and his mother bought a dress. Huang chartered a plane. President Trump walked his mother off the stage because she has a hard time walking. Huang remembers being about five, in Taiwan and about to move to Thailand, when his father came home from training at Carrier in New York and said the family should go there someday. At the first chance, they sent Jensen and his older brother ahead and followed a few years later. Huang calls the pull on the world's builders America's superpower.
