Wo -- chapter 250 Lili Shek, age 7 8 The strongest connection I have with China, my native land, is through my parents. I have seen the pain of leaving their beloved land upon which their memories are deeply rooted. I have seen their struggles to learn the English language and to survive in America. But I have also been witness to the joys of accomplishment, not only for myself, but for my family as well. We bring our culture with us and share it. Truly, it has been a bittersweet journey.

My parents met in America and got married. I am glad I live in America because El Salvador is a very poor country, and it is almost impossible to find a well paying job. When we visit San Salvador, we cannot go out at night because of the organized gangs. At night, you can hear gunshots. My family is happy and proud to live in America, the land of the free.

I saw people without arms, eyes, hands—without heads. I was scared. My country, Kosovo, is not a strong country. We finally got away, but I was upset. I left my family in my country. I left my stuff. We went to Macedonia to a [refugee] camp, then to Fort Dix in New Jersey, then Arizona. We went back to Kosovo, but there were no jobs and no money. There were not even roads. We left again for California.

The government does not pay the people well. Also, the justice system is not working. People rob each other, and there are many kidnappings. You have to pay a lot of money to get your child back. We came here to find a safe place. Our life in America is very different. We already have a grocery store.

Original store fixtures are constructed of solid old-growth fir, making them extremely heavy and prone to splitting.
