cheyenne chronicles cheyenne chronicles tales of our life in the wild west sunday january 18 2015 passport my passport arrived by priority mail on friday it was a relief because i really needed it quick and had paid for expedited service now i can apply for my chinese visa and get it in time hopefully you never know with these things for my trip next month i am going back to china for the first time since we left in december 1985 it s been 29 years wow surreal is how i would describe my feelings about going back to my native country so much has changed since my family and i left china so many years ago both with respect to the country and to myself as a person back then china s meteoric economic development was in it s infancy deng xiaoping had only announced the opening of china to the outside world a few years earlier hope and opportunity were not on most people s radar screen now the size of china s economy as measured by gdp is second only to the us then i was a child barely aware of what it meant to go to america 美国 meiguo or beautiful country the land of opportunity now i am an adult married with children living the american dream we were embarking on a journey of which most of our then more than one billion fellow chinese citizens could only dream our good fortune came as a result of my dad s being found by his long lost father actually it should be said that my dad was the long lost son long story short back in 1949 when the nationalists were defeated by the communists after a civil war my grandparents were among the nationalists who fled to taiwan because my dad was only a baby at the time and fearing that he would not survive the trip they left him with my grandmother s mother after my great grandmother passed away as i understood it there was some family drama and my dad was put into an orphanage he was adopted by a couple in guangdong province where he was raised in a small village my grandparents eventually divorced and my grandfather remarried he and his new family ended up immigrating to the united states and settling down in the washington dc area when my grandfather retired he finally was able to find my dad with the help of one of my grandfather s brothers my grandfather then somehow was able to get the chinese government to allow us to come to the united states and next month i will be one of hundreds of millions of chinese traveling back to their 家乡 hometown to celebrate the spring festival chinese new year with family and friends it will definitely be an interesting experience to go back to a place i haven t seen in almost 30 years and barely remember i m sure i ll feel a bunch of different emotions too i ll be so happy to finally be back where my roots began and to see my grandma and other relatives i ll also be sad that it took me so long to get there i know i ll miss my husband and my kids a lot this will be the longest i ve ever been away from them i ll worry about how my two year old will deal with my absence and about my husband being alone with them not that i don t think he could handle things with me gone but just that it s a hard job to take care of three kids all by yourself for days at a time which i don t have to do because usually he helps out when he gets home from work posted by luckyduck at 10 28 pm no comments older posts home subscribe to posts atom about me luckyduck i m
