I would like to tell a different story of my daughter's intermarriage. My daughter grew up in another family but her affection for father was great. she was not fortunate as she experienced the chaotic life in the time of cultural revolution without any chance to receive even senior middle school education. She got married earlier to a man with same level of education. She didn't enjoy a merry family life. She emigrated to the U.S. with broken English in the time of early 1990s. She started to study in a work-study program. She studied English diligently and Computer science in a community college in Pittsburg. Several years later she achieved success in study and obtained a BA degree. Especially to my surprise she was listed on the President's honor roll of the graduates. Meanwhile her life in the U.S. was not easy for she had to work a part-time job as a single mother for earning a living. And she could no longer tolerate the unhappy family life as family violence occurred at times. Eventually she got divorced and moved to Dallas TX and got a job in an IT shop. Her job assigned is to answer customers'questions about computers' obstacles in fluent English. There she met a white American and kept up their acquaintance for a year. Finally they made decision to make a good match and got married recently. I wrote a ci poetry of Song Dynasty with strict tonal patterns and rhymes to wish them a happy family life forever.
