Just after immigrating to the United States, a stubborn determination that his child would learn about Chinese culture led him to rule that the boy, who was in second grade at the time, would memorize "A Record of the Yue-yang Pavilion" and "A Record of the Peach-blossom Fount," two difficult works of classical Chinese literature.
移民美國之初，為了堅持要兒子學習中國文化，他也規定才小學二年級的兒子要背艱深的古文＜岳陽樓記＞和＜桃花源記＞。
