"Recently, my daughter had this poem in her class project.

Where Are You From?
Where am I from?
I come from

Where land nearly never-endingly surrounds our borders

Where bamboo stalks dominate the forests

Specially grown to feed the Giant Pandas

Where the rivers flow uncontrollably

From one side to the other

Where dynasties fly by

As quickly as they had come

Where Taiwan and Tibet protest

To be broken off from mainland

Where red-crowned cranes migrate to the south

To escape the cold dark winter

Where tree peonies bloom
Beautifully in gardens

Where hard-working athletes struggle to win

In every sport
For that
Is where I come from.

In this poem, I find that my 10 year old girl is more keen to call herself Chinese than New Zealander, though, with English as her first language, her Chinese is just enough to manage daily conversation. As she will grow up in Kiwi culture, I don’t think she can understand Chinese classical literature good enough. How much can she understand Chinese culture in the future? Will she get lost somewhere in between? I don’t know. Only time can tell."


十岁的孩子有这样的故国情怀, 不容易。
