SHi grandma. Long time no see. How are you recently?

LI’m fine, thanks.

SI want to ask you some questions, so I can write a story about you. So, can we start?

LSureYou have to write it very impressively.

SHa ha. I’ll try to do my best.

SOk, here’s my first question, where were you born. Is that a beautiful place?

LI was born in Ching Daw(青島). It is in China. It is a very beautiful place with a lot of mountains and it is next to the sea. Oh, because there was dominate by Germany , living there was like living in foreign country.

SThat’s so special, and how was your childhood?

LIt was an easy life. When the weather was cold, my sisters, brothers and I played the snowball, when it was hot, we rode the burro(驢子) to go swimming. Oh, I have four older brothers and three younger brothers.

SWow, sounds like you wew in a very big family. When did you come to Taiwan? Did you go to Taiwan by yourself?

LNo. I went to Taiwan with my parents and little brothers when I was graduated form high school. My older brothers worked in China , Hong Kong, and Japan .

SDid you go to the university in Taiwan ?

LYes, I went to 東吳大學英文系. My English is very good when I was in Ching Daw.

SWow, you are very smart. Did you graduate from that school?

LNo, when I was in the second grade, I got a job at 美軍顧問團, so I left the campus.

SHow did you know grandpa?

LHe is my coworker’s friend.

SDid you marry soon?

LNo, because your grandpa was transferred to another post, he had to move to Shin Ing(新營), so I followed him there, and I quitted my job.

SWhat a brave decision.

LThanks.

SSo why did you move to America now?

LBecause my son studied there and he wanted me to move there living with him.

SThat’s a good decision. America is a good place for living.

LThat’s right. I feel comfortable there.

SIt’s good. Thanks for your help.

LYou are welcome. I wish you can write a good story.

SThanks.

    Stella,

    I like the title of your story: China-Taiwan-America. The story about your grandma reminds me of a novel, “The Joy Luck Club,” written by Amy Tan. We see the hidden strength in women through your grandmother and the characters in the novel. They have a lot in common. I think you would like to read it some day.
