Growing up, I remember my father as a silent, strict man—not the kind of person around whom one could laugh. As a teenager knowing little about life, I wanted a father who could

and understanding. And I’ve come to see my past in a
小题20:
view. Knowing them makes me feel safe in where I come from and where I’m going.
