The Reason

So I asked my mother why we had to move to America and the conversation was like this:
(translated in to english of course)

me: why did we have to leave Hong kong?

mom: because we wanted you and your brother to have a better life and more opportunity.

me: thats it?

mom: and Hong kong was going to be given back to China soon.

me: what?

mom: hong kong was under Britain rule for 99 years. soon, it will be given back to China. we don't like the chinese politics and how they run a country. they are restictive and horrible. many people already had left for America because of this.

me: oh, wasn't there a rule where you could only have one child?

mom: not yet. not when you were born.

me: okay.


So it was cause there is freedommmmmm!
and better opportunity and education.
