Chinatown Life - What Tourists don't see

Good story from the SF Chronicle.

Chinatown family life - what tourists don't see

Key Points:

• Quote - "the Chinese believe if you just put up with it, you will win. Don't cause trouble, and you will persevere."

I have gotten this lecture a few times. Keep a low profile, don't cause waves... You don't want the teacher/school administrator to hate you...

• The son is taking AP Chemistry.

• Another quote - "It is our tradition to take care of our parents," Mo says. "Someday my son will take care of me."
