14th day

I have finished the book- Factory Girls. It vividly describing the life of a migrant from the poorer site of China to Donguan or Guangzhou to work. Though our life in malaysia is much better than what i read from the book, it has a lot of similarities between china chinese and we, malaysian chinese. I think pretty much, we have been deeply influencing by our ancestors or the education way from them. The way we learn english and the way we think, it's easy to find the similarities in the book. Even now, the way we think is still so chinese, so based to our own culture and way of living. We have not been able to run out of our circle. We feel shy and we tend to keep quiet whenever we are not in our comfortable zone to talk. We tend to stick with our group and ignore the outside world. This is the type of chinese that i have seen and met and of course i am in this group too. Of course, there are much more un-chinese chinese out there that we should learn from so that we can be more generous, be more open-minded and be more sociable than you can ever imagine. 

and, I am now reading on another book called - I know why the caged bird sings.
