Family History

There's so much in a family history to know that has become more tangible to me as an adult as I read the news and after reading through from article to article about my grandparents in their former home in Concord CA in the early 90's. I got to understand their life more through reading the documentation and putting the pieces together of the visual and audial memory I had as a child.

I feel saddened with my grand uncle's passing away recently. He is a note worthy journalist together with my grandfather.

Siongpo or chinese commercial news - the newspaper that they worked and lived for continues to move on with the legacy. Peter Preston of the Guardian UK Newspaper has written an excerpt titled Missing, exiled, murdered, jailed - but not forgotten on May 20, 2007.

There's so much richness in one's life. I find that every person has an inspiring story to tell through heights, joys, challenges, perseverance, realisations in life. At the end of the day it's good to reflect on what really matters.
