I am from Chrysanthemum (Damon)
I am from Chrysanthemum
From a vast fertile delta land
and Yangtze River.
I am from the tea set,
Quietly, elegantly standing on the table
Pouring out the scent of history
From the icicle hung over the roof.
From my grandma, Qinglun comes from the northernmost province of China.
and my mother, Shouju
From mint
and ginkgo
I am from the chopping board
Chopping and Rolling,
nostalgic dumplings,
beans and green onions,
And reunion.
Hello everyone, my name’s Damon. I was born in a small city in the southern part of China next to Shanghai. I will describe myself as an Asian, Chinese, first-generation student, and also a temporary immigrant in Canada. I’m interested in Hispanic culture, and the Latin America world. Currently, I’m studying Spanish 301 at UBC. I would like to see their cultures from a different perspective. I’m excited about my new semester because I’m a student in the major of environment and sustainability, also the courses are quite challenging.
