Well, it's "zai jian" again soon, in less than 3 weeks. It's hard to believe that it's been almost five and a half years since this entry, when we said goodbye to Singapore and embarked on our Chinese adventure.
And what an adventure it has been! Living in China has made me feel more Chinese and feel less Chinese at the same time, if that even makes sense at all. I've seen first hand the land of my ancestors, and by a quirk of fate, if not for an adventurous forefather, I could very well be still living in the hinterlands of Fujian! Being here has also made me feel more alien than ever. Despite being ethnically Chinese, culturally, I have realized that I am a mixture of South-east Asian cum American cum Chinese as far as beliefs and morals are concerned. Definitely not PRC.
Thank you Beijing for all the friends you have helped me make and the wonderful memories which I will carry with me for the rest of my life. I will come back and visit one day.
Goodbye China....hello Hong Kong!
