where big snow falls with plum flower blossoming.
I am from a lake as blue as sapphire,
where a little girl giggled in a pedal boat.
I am from seven splendid waterfalls,
which hide within clouds and rainbows and rocks.
I am from bed-time folk stories,
where a fairy meets her earth lover on a magpie bridge,
I am from Heidi's straw bed and Alps village,
from a drop of golden sun and a long long way to run.
I am from Gone with the Wind,
where Scarlett winks --
Tomorrow is another day.I am from a Chinese Youth Palace,
where a little girl was practicing "penguin dance".
I am from dreary violin classes,
with neighbors wearing earplugs.
I am from painted faces in Chinese operas.
I am from sketches of apples, aliens, and giant pandas.
I am from grandpa's warm study room,
with moments of laughter and moans
I am from mom's chrysanthemum garden,
with all colors budding in ardor.
I am from steaming rice cakes and dishes of nostalgia.
I am from a continuous apprenticeship,
challenged with academic practices.
I am from my world of equity and love,
from a universe of discoveries and believes.
I am from where I stand,
with you all.
