In summary, the conversation is about a postgraduate student in NEU China majoring in Mechanical Engineering who is unsure of what career path to pursue. The suggestion is made to focus on structural engineering due to the high demand for infrastructure in China, but there is also mention of more specialized areas such as the space program. Nanotechnology and studying English are also mentioned as potential career options.

Welcome aboard, Renwei.
I don't know a lot about politics or geography, so I'm going solely based upon my limited knowledge of China. If you intend to stay there, I think that structural would be most useful. You guys need a lot of infrastructure such as bridges, roads, railways, canals etc. to support your massive population. There are, of course, more glamourous pursuits such as getting involved with your space programme, but it might be considerably harder to gain employment in that area.
