Now 22 years old, Amy was born in a small West Virginian town with very few Chinese, and moved to Long Island at the age of eleven, never having felt any different from other children. But it was when a classmate once teased her saying "why don't you go home, go back to China!" that she felt she first encountered prejudice.
Amy 今年廿二歲，生在西維吉尼亞摩根鎮，「一個很少華人的小鎮」，她形容，十一歲搬到長島時，還不覺得自己和別人有何不同，直到有一天她到學校去，有同學罵她：「為何你不回家﹘ ﹘不回中國去」，她才覺得自己受到歧視了。
