This is what I am.

I am 18 years old. I was born in Yannawa,Bangkok,Thailand. My grandfather and grandmother of my mum are Chinese, they immigrated from China to Thailand because of the war, WW II. When the army of Japan attacked the south of China, FuJian,GuangDong,HaiNan. Many Chinese fled away from the savageness of the war and starvation. They came to Thailand, then settled their families in the land of smile, Siam. [ At that time Chinese called Siam, it was about the era of King Rama V] My family is too. Dad always tells me about my family, in the past our family was very difficult, we had not anything to eat, we had not any place to sleep, and when my grand grand grand father died we had not enough money for his burial. Well, now, I knew about my family. I am the fifth generation of immigrated Chinese. And about my mom, it is not difference. My mom was born with the difficult too, her father and mother fled from the revolution of Communist Party. They came to Thailand like other immigrated Chinese.

So, in my blood it is pure Chinese blood. But, in my mind it is pure Thai mind. Because, Thailand is my motherland. Thailand gives a chance to my ancestors and me. Thailand is the place where my family can sleep, find something to eat and etc. I pound to be Thai. If someone ask me ' If you have had a chance to choose, Thai or Chinese?' I would have answer immediately Thai.

My dad and mom always teach me. You must work hard, diligent and do not waste the money. Why? You should know yourself. You can see the difficult in the past. Although, now we are not like that. But, we should remind ourselves the past. Thus, everything about me especially my habit are inculcated by mom and dad.
