Sara's Childhood Personal Web

My family:
mom, dad, brother the left, sister, the right.
Sara was six year old.

Mom
In my memory, my mom is the center of my family. Whatever she said was always right. She was the director of family. We had to listen to her. All my childhood friends feared her. Whenever they saw my mom coming back from work while playing with me they would run away immediately. My mom is going to be 80 years old in the June 2012.

Dad
In my memory, dad was tender, sweet, and very kind. He was always my refuge when I faced my mom's discipline. I could do whatever I want in front of him. My dad just had his 84th Birth day last Dec.

Playmates
I was enrolled in the school when I was about 56-days-old. At least four of us had played together and grew up together since we were 56-day-old. We had played together for 18 years until we graduated from high school. The relationship between us was more intimated than the relationship between me and my siblings.

Teacher, my kindergarten teacher

I still can recall the picture in my memory I sat on her lap when she was teaching the class. My kindergarten classmates laughed at me even nowadays whenever we get a chance to gather, they call me crybaby. I must cry lot so that she allowed my to sat on her lap even when she was giving the lesson. I can not image what situation was, why I could not sat as other classmates?

Aunt Fu
She was mom's co-worker also was mom's best friend. I have a brother and a sister. She came to our home to make dinner for us when my mom could not get home, and she spent time with us. Sometimes she took us to her home. I remember once I had lived with her at her home as she had three days vacation! She moved out to another city after her got married. I had a chance to visit her and her family when I was a college student. I have not seen her after I graduated from college. I miss her.

The background of my early childhood period, our society was communist, slightly different from today's society, people were not allowed to ask payment for helping others. It was shame to ask money for help other people as well. Aunt Fu must love me so much that she wanted to volunteer to take care me.
