I travel back to Guangzhou two or three times a month, usually on the weekends. I don't get to spend a lot of time with my son, but I insist on speaking in Mandarin with him when we're together. They teach Mandarin in his elementary school, and he speaks it a bit better than his classmates, which no doubt has something to do with my insistence on speaking Mandarin with him.
我每個月回廣州兩三趟，多在週末，來去匆匆，父子相處時間很短，可是我對我兒子堅持講國語，現在他念小學了，學校有國語課程，他的口語比他班上的同學好一些，跟我這點堅持不無關係，每念及此，我就「中」懷大慰。
