When I went back to China
with my family this year, I had planned
on leaving my oldest son there so that
he could learn Chinese. But I couldn't
bring myself to, it would be too hard
for a child to be left alone far away
from his family. So I ended up bringing
him back to Japan. It might not be the
best idea for his future, but I'm happy
to be able to live with him here in Japan. |
