This article illustrated the experience of a Chinese Immigrant lady, Cecilia Chiang, who recently had her 99th birthday. I found this article from the food section of the New York Times. I thought it would be talking about how Ms. Chiang retained the original flavors of Chinese cuisine in the United States. However, when Ms. Chiang recalled her past in Beijing, and her experience as an immigrant in San Francisco, there was a heavy historical context in it. The life from an upper-class girl, where she was not allowed to approach any kitchen stuff, to the life that she had to making a living using the dishes she remembered back in China. Ms. Chiang remembered her 99 years of life. Her life was just like a collection of history that should be treasured.
