晚上收到一個驚喜包裹，原來是老公住在Texas的阿嬤寄的，拆開來一個key cabinet （放鑰匙的裝飾）真是巧呀，老公之前想買一個key cabinet, 沒想到阿嬤心有靈犀一點通～ 更讓我們感動的是，阿嬤寫的信～
翻譯如下：
Dear,
我想告訴你們一點有關這個key cabinet的歷史。我希望你們跟我一樣擁有這個key cabinet有趣的回憶，我們把這個key cabinet掛在廚房的牆上很久了。
當 你的阿公Ray還是Veterans of Foreign Wars的National Commander的時候，他可算是個“大人物”喔。你的Mark叔叔，Lori阿姨和Brooke來拜訪我們在Bakersfield的家，你的表妹 Nancy和她女兒Kim也一起過來看他們，我們坐在廚房裡，靠近掛在牆上的key cabinet。
I saw the news about Julie Chen’s blepharoplasty (double eyelid surgery). Some people criticized Julie that she rejected her Chinese culture and was ashamed of her Asian features. I feel annoyed when hearing people say that. Double eyelid surgery is very common in Asia and it’s like breast implant for American girls. It’s definitely not that Asians want to have a plastic surgery to look like Caucasians. Having a plastic surgery never changes one’s race. A friend of mine asked me if it’s true that Asian girls with light skin are considered beautiful due to Western influence. I said, “Nonsense. In ancient time, a person’s skin could show one’s social status. A girl with dark skin means she’s probably in the poor family that requires her to work outside or do labor work. Obviously it doesn’t apply to us anymore. However, it is still deeply rooted in Asian culture. For us, lighter skin represents beauty. It doesn’t mean Asians want to look like Caucasians. Similarly, Caucasians like to have tanned skin, but it doesn’t mean they want to be Africans or Latinos”.
