    "Do you want to eat?"
    My popo was from a Hakka family and all the siblings of that generation's first words when you cane to visit was "You want eat?"
    They're all gone now. Their parents emigrated to Hawai`i around 1900 so most of the cousins are still there. To this day 5 generations later, we still keep in touch with each other and the topic is always good food.
    Good memories.

    My best memories of my Hakka grandparents is the food… we always ate Hakka food with the freshest ingredients, made with skill and most importantly love. Indeed women who willingly spend time in the kitchen to prepare the best food to feed the family are beautiful. Food forms such an important bond for Chinese families.

She taught me how, also telling me stories of the poverty she lived in before she joined the revolution. I will never forget her.

    Grandma is measuring her age the old Chinese way which is essentially 1 year old on day one and 2 when the first birthday comes along. Remembered that from my childhood and being confused to be older than what I thought I was - not that it matters much these days (just old).

    This reminded me of my time in Taiwan visiting my great uncle and his family, I wish I could communicate more with them but my Mandarin is no good. Or the relationship I never had with my great grandmas because we couldn't speak to each other. I used to call them waipo and popo because my mother never taught me what I was supposed to call them, but I don't think she knew either. Our family really tried hard to assimilate and a lot of stories and knowledge was lost. I think the most I learned about my family was when my grandfather was sick and willing to share. It's so important to learn your family's stories before they're gone.

In the olden days there were no roads like now so people traveled by river and rivers led to the sea where you can get a ship and that's how southerners migrated out to the whole world. dabu used to be a very rural place when my grandfather went back in 94 but after 2000 much has changed today it has everything malls hotels condos.
