He fought in many wars against the Japanese, slowly rising from foot soldier to general. In the year 1949, he arrived with the army at Guizhou province, and settled down there. He then met my great-grandmother.

Due to the Chinese cultural revolution, my grandfather was forced by the government to stop attending high school and go to Guiyang city to learn farming. That was where he met my  grandmother.

They were both teachers when they married, but my grandmother gave up her job in order to raise my mom, which was hard and took many tiresome part-time jobs to stay home.]]> 2023-08-30 01:22:09 UTC https://padlet.com/elaineh20281/udz6hb2e9hh23ixp/wish/2677459157 elaineh20281 https://padlet.com/elaineh20281/udz6hb2e9hh23ixp/wish/2677462354 My mom and dad married at Hong Kong in the year 2007, where they had me and my brother.]]> 2023-08-30 01:24:13 UTC https://padlet.com/elaineh20281/udz6hb2e9hh23ixp/wish/2677462354 elaineh20281 https://padlet.com/elaineh20281/udz6hb2e9hh23ixp/wish/2677463096 My life has been greatly affected not only by political events that my ancestors had no control over, but also by their quick decision-making during these unexpected events.
