1911

"Uncle O'Hara, what are you thinking about?" Mary, a little neighbor girl, asked naively.

"Oh, Mary." The man called Uncle O'Hara put down the book in his hand and smiled at her.

Mary walked over curiously and looked at the book, only to find to her dismay that she didn't know a single word.

"Uncle O'Hara, what kind of book is this? Why can't I understand it?" Mary was a little unhappy.

Uncle O'Hara laughed again: "This is a Chinese thread-bound book, which is rare in the United States. It took me a lot of time to find it from the Atlanta library."

"China?" Mary was still confused at first, but immediately remembered, "Oh, I remembered, you used to be Chinese."

"No, what you said is wrong." Uncle O'Hara shook his hand at her, "I have been Chinese since I was born."

"This year is 1911. I just read a newspaper saying that the decadent Manchu Qing government has fallen, and we are now the Republic of China." Speaking of this, Uncle O'Hara couldn't stop his excitement.

"But you're still young, and these things are a little far away for you," Uncle O'Hara said to her.

Mary felt that she was underestimated, and said unconvinced: "Who said that, I have heard about the Civil War since I was very young."

"Oh, it turns out that you are so powerful, it's because Uncle underestimated you." Uncle O'Hara immediately apologized.

After all, Mary was a child, so she didn't pay much attention to this matter. She quickly shifted her interest to another matter: "By the way, Uncle O'Hara, how did you come to America?" Mary asked curiously.

"Why, do you want to hear the story again?" Uncle O'Hara looked at her lovingly, "Okay, then I will tell you something about my youth, and this thing should start from a long, long time ago , At that time, I was about the same age as you, maybe a little older..."
