The story of her childhood was interesting and at the same time upsetting. At a young age she had already had to learn 2 entirely new languages. One because of her family and the other because of "new china" and there was also one for school. I think she was a very strong person to be able to continue working on each language seperately and still keep sane. Even with all her confusion and frustration she still managed to keep each seperate and thrive in all of them. What upset me the most is the fact that when dealing with her school work, mainly her report on the revolutionary family, she was torn between 2 ways of life and was attracted more to the school's opinions rather than her own families. She started to think that what she was learning at home was actually bad for her, in a way. All the confusion and seperations and learning brought her to where she is now and has made her stronger in what she pursued. Her daughter has it a little easier than she does but it is still the same basic concept of what happened to her in China.
