Chinatown, Manhattan

Story, “Tell a story, so that we understand why and how this world was created, who our ancestors were and where they came from, so the we understand where we are and where we maybe be going”

I truly believe that my story start in this place because Chinatown is the first place my family go to for a better life. My grandpa and my father work their entire youth for my family to live a comfortable lifestyle. My life is the way it is because of my father and grandpa.

Albany, Brooklyn

Journey to the West, “They are: wide, great, wise, intelligence, true, conforming, nature, sea, sharp, wake to complete and awakening. Your rank falls precisely on the word…”Wake to Vacuity”.

I spent my childhood in this place because this is my parents’ Chinese restaurant where I learn that money doesn’t grow on the tree but the older I get the more I learn. I believe that one cant stop learning within their lifetime.

Queens Village, Queens

The Heart Sutra, “There is no suffering…no stopping, no path”

This is my home and it also my safe place so it have n suffering and no stopping for who I am. Is a place where I grew and learn.
