My Family Album

My family Story

 

My parents have two children, my elder brother and me.

My dad is the chief editor of a major newspaper in Jiangxi, and my mum was an accoutant. Dad is very strict with us, especially in study and work. Thanks to dad, we are able to achieve what we have today. Mum is gentle and kind. She loves us very much. Our food and clothes are her biggest concern everyday. Mom and dad seem to be assuming different responsibilities in nurturing us.

I finished my bachelor degree in 1999, and then found a job in Guangzhou, one of the most prosperous cities in China. In that very year, I met my husband, Eric Won, he is a nice, smart, and funny guy. (Like me, he has an elder brother<right side in the pic>. His Dad is Senior Engineer while his Mum is a doctor. They offered us enormous help while we struggled for our future.) Two years later, we got married. Right after that we migrated to New Zealand and started a new life. Looking back to those years in China, my tenure in Amway has been the most unforgetable. Amway has endowed me with lots of smart and interesting friends and amazing experiences. Those days I spent with Amway were absolutely memorable. I wouId always be proud of having been part of this excellent community. I am now doing a master in business at Massey University. Eric's pursuing a master in finance at Auckland University. Our life in New Zealand is quite different from that in China, but great still. Sure, we miss our homeland and our family, which we often see in our dreams. More over, we miss Chinese food very much. The everyday Chinese dishes have become luxury here. By the way, Eric's mum is very good at cooking, so is my mum.

My brother Danny Chen was born in 1974. A young man of enterprise and kind heart, he worked with Industry and Commercial Bank of China (ICBC) for years before pursuing postgraduate study in Vrije Universiteit Brussel, a renowned university located in Brussels, Belgium. He is even more hardworking than I am.

During years of work in ICBC, he has published quite a number of works in major newspapers and periodicals. In addition to publishing academic works, he writes poems as well. One of his recent verses, "Far and Away from Home", was published in Brussels.

Family is always a haven that we can rest in. Here I'd like to express my heartfelt thanks to my mum and dad, who have gone through a lot of pain in providing us with the best upbringing possible.
