Ou-yang Min's older brother Ou-yang Hui who has served as the Chairman of the Mexicali Chinese Affairs Hall recalls that when the family had just returned to Kwangtung his mother, brothers, and sisters had their hands full trying to learn Chinese and get used to the conventions of the village. Also, his Mexican mother insisted that her children speak Spanish in the house.
歐陽民的哥哥，曾任墨西加力市中華會館主席的歐陽輝回憶，剛回廣東時，母親及兄姊都要從頭學中文、適應家鄉規矩；另一方面，身為墨西哥人的母親，又嚴格要求子女在家講西班牙語，難免有些調適困難。
