My childhood was not interesting to some extent due to various reasons. I was born in a very poor family in poverty-stricken areas of China – Dingxi Prefecture of Gansu Province, where it is so dry and windy all year round so that people there, especially farmers, are very industrious to strive for a better life. So I was being dedicated my role - to help endlessly my parent to do some trivial matters to go through the hard time. For instance, clean the house, feed the livestock, and purchase daily necessities in the town near my home. In fact, at that time I did not understand what poverty is at all. I only saw my parents were always busy with the activities of the farm from early to evening even if they sometimes forgot to have a meal. When my grandmother was till alive, she always shown enthusiastic to her son and law-in-daughter, and said “your parents are too tired to support this family. They are very nice, very great…..” After listening to her instrumental words, I always hurried up to send some food and water to my parents in the crop fields. I clearly remember when I was only five years old.
