My ancestor is from China, he is angry because maybe his brothers were telling him to do everything (maybe) idk. He saved up money and bought a boat ticket to Taiwan. It is a dangerous trip because the boat that you are on can sink. He was lucky that he made it, he went to find his grandpa but nobody knows who his grandpa is because his grandpa died. He said to himself that he shouldn't leave his mom and dad, now he is stuck in Taiwan because he has no money. He worked hard to earn money and he bought a house. I am the seventh generation.
