I dream of a day where I can continueto visit Hong Kong and even show thecity to my own children, a time andplace when we would both be tourists. Icould show them where theirgrandparents and great-grandparentscame from. We could walk the streetwhere the traditional bakery has longbeen replaced by a McDonalds, andmaybe even cross the border and seeour ancestral hometown in Shuntak.I hope that they could make their ownjudgment of all its flaws and refractionsand come to terms with it on their own. Ihope that it would make them feel atpeace, despite it being a reminder forthem that people like us will alwayswander with the diasporic burden, allthose people who le! something behindthat they never possessed in the firstplace.
Whenever I commute around myhometown in the Seattle area, I thinkback to riding the MTR in Hong Kongand the British-inflected English voicewarning me: "Careful, please mind thegap." In Cantonese, to be careful is"siusum," literally translated as "smallheart." To step with caution. I try mybest to step with caution, rememberingall the sacrifices people have made toput me here walking these grounds andliving this life. I don't think I can begrateful for receiving something Inever asked for.But I keep trying to dream for the twograndfathers I never really met, whopersisted as a memory of a memory,ghosts who guide my heavy heart, as Islowly learn how……to open my heart and be happy.
