My grandma’s name \u00a0is Kai Qiong Zheng. \u00a0She is my mother’s mother. \u00a0She has short brown hair and always wears a brown suit. \u00a0She does not know how to speak English. \u00a0She is a Chinese doctor and lives in China with my uncle. \u00a0He knows how to speak English.<\/p>\n

Kai Qiong Zheng was born on August 5, 1940 on the continent of Asia. \u00a0She was born in China in Chong Qing Bei Pei, Xiao Jai Ba village. \u00a0She now lives in Beijing on the sixth floor of an apartment building. \u00a0When she goes out shopping, she goes to different vendors to buy food and things that look special to her – copper fans and cups.<\/p>\n

\"Snowball\"<\/a>

She has a rabbit named Snowball and fish in her apartment. \u00a0Her husband died about one year ago. \u00a0He was a very good painter of temples, mountains, villages and waterfalls — very beautiful — and there is a book about his artwork. \u00a0She misses him a lot. \u00a0I met him in the hospital where he got sick from smoking.<\/p>\n

\"Second<\/a>
Second Grade<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

When my Grandma was in second grade, she wore normal pants and shirts made by her parents. \u00a0From 8:00 am until noon, she studied math and art. \u00a0Her teacher was a pretty woman with short hair. \u00a0They studied and played. \u00a0Lunch was rice and fried vegetables.<\/p>\n

\"Chores\"<\/a>
Chores<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Kai Qiong Zheng’s jobs at home were to help her parents cook meals and climb the mountain to collect firewood. \u00a0The girls couldn’t lift the big buckets of water so they had string hanging down the sides of bundled firewood. \u00a0She would feed her little pig. \u00a0She played Chinese chess. \u00a0They did not have television or movies. \u00a0They had chores instead.<\/p>\n

\"Chinese<\/a>
Chinese New Year<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

In the Chinese New Year, my Grandma would go to her great-grandma’s house and eat rice ball soup which is a really good rice ball dough with sesame jam inside that they wrap up inside. \u00a0Sometimes they have seeds inside.<\/p>\n

She would also watch dragon dancing. \u00a0They would carry a dragon around the streets and dance with their poles.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
