Fate chooses our relatives, we choose our friends.

About This Quote

This is one of the most famous Chinese proverbs. I was born in Shanghai in China. My parents are from Beijing. They had a son when they were in their early twenties.

However, their parents didn’t approve of them because they were too young. After some time, my father’s family arranged an arranged marriage for them with someone who lived in my hometown, Wuzhong City. As a result, I was born in Wuzhong City when I was 3 years old.

I have two younger sisters, they are both married and have children, they are also from Wuzhong City. My mother had an arranged marriage with someone from Shanghai and I was born in Shanghai when I was 2 years old I grew up in Shanghai and we lived there until we moved to Wuzhong City when I was 14 years old and left Shanghai to live there until we moved back to Shanghai when I was 18 years old. So, I spent almost half of my life in China and love China deeply.

The name “Wuzhong City” comes from the name of my hometown; Wuzhong literally means “eastern hill city” My hometown is located on the eastern side of the Huangpu River (Huangpu River) and at the foot of Pudong New Area (Pudong). It is a very beautiful place. You can see great houses built by rich merchants while staying at the same time on the bank of the Huangpu River and enjoy the scenery while watching boats moving on it.

At night, you can see magnificent lights: The skyline at night is beautiful with lights shining up into the sky like stars scattered across the landscape like constellations or galaxies that you can find only in movies This is our home We moved to Shanghai because my father became a businessman during his stay in Wuzhong City and got married after he got married to my mother who came from a rich family from Beijing. So, we moved to Wuzhong City until we moved back to Shanghai after he died when I was 16 years old at that time because it had been hard for me to live without him throughout those two years even though he had been gone for a long time before that. We lived in Shanghai until we moved back to Wuzhong City after my mother died when she passed away from cancer when she was 77 years old My hometown has a famous temple called Taiping
