Though it was easy to get into the school, Yeh says: "My sons were like mutes during their first year there. They didn't understand the language and couldn't speak. They just sat at their desks, then came home, cried and asked to go back to Taiwan to be with their grandmother."
雖然入學不難，「但第一年兒子幾乎是去當啞巴，不會說也聽不懂，只能楞在座位上，每天回來哭說，要回台灣找阿嬤。」
