I interview my uncle about his
childhood memories. He name is Jack. He has a pair of kindly eyes. He always
smiles to everyone. He is taller than me just a little bit. But he is stronger
than me. His hand has a lot of cocoon, because he works very hard. He is from China. He has
three sisters. He is the eldest brother. When he learned to walk and talk, he
was around 2years old. When he learned to walk, my grandmother with he played a
game. That was my grandmother let him standing by himself first, and stand have
one meter with him. My grandmother took a cookie to seduce him to come over.
When he almost walks over with my grandma, my grandma was very tricky to take a
step back and my uncle look at the cookie gets away for him. He was
unconvinced. Then he follows my grandma to step forward. He looks so funny,
like a tumbler. He started elementary school at the age of 7. Their classroom
wasn’t beautiful anymore. Their classroom was made of mud brick, and their
chairs and desks were made of the wood. There are some trees, grasses and
flowers on the edge of the playground. Their playground also made of soil. When
he went to school he lived in the countryside. Everyday he needed to walk
almost 1hour to school. That’s when you know, there no car, no bike, he must to
step on the filed, walk mountain roads to school and walk the same time to go
home. Even so, he still likes to go to school. He favorites class was Math because
of elementary school mathematics easier than Chinese. Then most interesting
things that happened in this school was when he go home with he friends talk
about what toys they like, and also talk which girl was beautiful. He felt went
to school was happy and interesting. But anything we are unexpected, he say he
only go to school for 5years. Then he didn’t go to school anymore. Because his
family didn’t have enough money sends him to school. He didn’t went to school,
but he needed to helped his family to plow and cattle. After, he had a first
job in he life. At that tome, he was 15 years old. His job was building
apprenticeship. This job was so tired, because everyday he need to carrying a
stone and wood. His first job was in other town. During his working period he
lived in the dormitory. HI life was so difficult, he always eat sweet potatoes
as a meal. He felt that life was poor. His strongest memory is when he was 8
years old, he got a car accident. The doctor said he can’t walk and medical
expenses were very expensive. Then he was so sad about that he cried more than
he should. His family was very worried. But later, they borrowed from relatives
to paid medical bills. He thought it was over, but he had some problems didn’t
solve. His feet got hurt. Half a year can not walk. When he was hurt, my
grandparents were working with the cattle. He thought that like this for a
lifetime. Until one day, he’s parents had something was thirsty, but he can’t
walk anymore to get the water. At the same time, he thought after almost a year
of physical therapy and convalescence, he was work again. When he couldn’t
walk, he was brave. He is thinking about what he could to do to walk every day.
He does the treatment by himself almost every day. He wasn’t in the hospital for treatment, but
in the home to hole the wall to walk slowly. Even though he always fall down
but he never give up and standing again. Now, my uncle lived in china. His job
is to decorate a house. When he walk now, he is looking normal, but sometimes
rain it hurts his leg. For a while, he had thought of give up. He said reality is
cruel, if you don’t work hard to live, who will have mercy on you. He has to
plan for my future. So he decided to struggle for the fight to the end.
