Cheng Tim Tim
Hong Kong
A coworker of mine is emigrating from Hong Kong for her 2-year-old
son due to political tension. I wrote the poem "Rudimentary Cantonese"
as a parting gift to my coworker, who shares videos of her son reciting
Cantonese poems. The poem attempts to capture my fascination on the
inter-zone of languages, especially in early language acquisition,
translation and immigrant families.
