This photo was taken in 2012 which showed a part of my family in my mother side. From the right side to the left side, they were my uncle, me, my aunt, my grandma, my cousin sister, my grandpa, my mother and my cousin brother. In my family, at that time, my uncle and my cousin brother have been living in the U.S. for 10 years at least. At that moment, it was the first time that they came back. During those years, we contacted each other only by cellphone. I still remembered that when my cousin brother was born in the U.S., my uncle took many live videos and sent them to us via the international mail. It was taking few months. During the time my uncle’s family was living in the U.S., my uncle and his wife were working so hard. My uncle worked as a sushi chef for 8 years. His wife was studying and getting a nurse. You know, my uncle learned cooking from the beginning when he just arrived. Before that, he was doing some business. Year after year, they bought cars and house, then, their second kid, my cousin brother, was born. Their lives were getting brighter.
