Hello Everyone,
I am trying to migrate from Comcast to this new site which appears to be more user friendly.
First of all, I am back in China. My mother, Rong Zhi, and I came back
on 13 November 2004 courtesy of United Airlines. We went back to our
home in Henan Province on 25 November, Thanksgiving Day. What a
Homecoming we received! My grandparents and neighbors were on the
street waiting for our bus to arrive. It took a long time to go from
Beijing to the village where we live. We first took a train, then
transfer to a bus. My brothers were very glad to see us. We would have
stayed up talking all night if my mother did not make them go to sleep
as they have school the next day. No, Thanksgiving is not a national
holiday in China. But we do have a lot to be thankful for.
My mother and I went back to Beijing on 6 December. She has a better
chance of getting a job in Beijing than in our village. She enrolled me
in a school for children of migrant workers. There are a lot of migrant
workers in Beijing. Thanks to Christina at Operation Blessing, I was
admitted to this school. When I was back home in Henan, the local
schools declined to take me, supposedly because the semester is almost
over. Thay said "come back next year." I am living in the school,
sharing a room with three other boys. This is the first time I am away
from my mother and I am really scared, although I like the classes
during the day.
I will write more once I know how this works.
