Originally from China, the family traveled to Irvine, Ontario, Canada, where the parents opened a restaurant, the Dragon Cafe.As a young child I never really thought about my parents lives in Irvine, how small their world must have seemed, never extending beyond the Dragon Cafe. Every day my parents did the same jobs in the restaurant. I watched the same customers come for meals, for morning coffee, for afternoon soft drinks and French fries.

I became taller and bigger, my second teeth grew in white and straight. At school I began to learn about my adopted country. I spoke English like a native, without a trace of an accent. I played, thought, and dreamed in the language of our Irvine neighbors. A few years later and I would no longer remember a time when I didnt speak their words and read their books. But my father and Uncle Yat still spoke the same halting English. My mother spoke only a few words. I began to translate conversations they had with the customers, switching between English and Chinese. Whenever I stepped outside the restaurant it seemed I was entering a world unknown to my family: school, church, friends houses, the town beyond Main Street. I found it hard to imagine a year without winter any more, a home other than Irvine. 文都国际教育官方网站：http:/www.wenduguoji.com/文都国际教育官方网站：http:/www.wenduguoji.com/3.

A wistful smile would soften her face as she told me about sleeping and playing with her sister in the attic above her parents bedroom. She once showed me a piece of jade-green silk cloth that was frayed and worn around the edge. In the center was a white lotus floating in varying shades of blue water, the embroidery so fine that when I held it at arms length the petals looked real. I had been helping her store away my summer clothes in the brown leather suitcase from Hong Kong when I noticed a piece of shiny material in the corner and asked her what it was. She look it out and spread it on her lap. My mother embroidered this herself. I was 文都国际教育官方网站：http:/www.wenduguoji.com/文都国际教育官方网站：http:/www.wenduguoji.com/going to have it made into a cushion, but then my life changed and over here there seems to be no place for lovely things. Its all I have that reminds me of her, she said. Maybe, Su-Jen, one day you will do something with it. I admired the cloth some more, then she carefully folded it and stored it back in her suitcase.4. The sentence (For .

There was so little in this new country that gave her pleasure. The good things she found were related in some way to China: an aria from a Chinese opera, a letter from a relative back home or from Aunt Hai-Lan in Toronto, written in Chinese, a fam
