Wherever in the world you’re reading this right now, you will be aware of just how mixed modern society has become in terms of race. Within the UK, mixed-raced children are the largest 1 ethnic minority. Bringing home a partnerof a different 2 to yourself is no longer viewed as, “strange” or “different” in alot of families.When Joseph brought home Hari, the 3 that she was of Indian parentage was never even talked about — she made him happy. They made each other happy. And that was all that 4 .
But the reason why they were together for 11 years before they got 5 is that Hari was afraid of telling her 6 about the person that she’d fallen in love with. She was afraid of the consequences it would 7 for her younger sisters. Would theybe packed off to India? Would they end up in arranged 8 they may not want? At 22 years old, when she first fell in love with him — it wasa large burden to 9 .
But she loved him, and 10 they moved in together… and then bought a house by theBrighton coast, where they have 11 for almost 8 years. All the while her parents didn’t know. Her sisters did, and they too lovedJoseph — they 12 him as the brother they’d never had.
But after nine years together, she finally had to tell her father (her mother 13 away a few years ago). We were on tenderhooks(惶恐不安)the weekend she went up North to tell him.
It was emotional and as a family we were worried. Hari had been 14 of our family for so long, we felt for her. We knew how 15 it would be. She loved her father, but knew this would hurt him, who was a very traditional Sikh man.

Born in America, I spoke English, not Chinese, the language of my ancestors. When I was three, my parents flashed cards with Chinese __21__ at my face, but I pushed them __22__. My mom believed I would learn __23__ I was ready. But the __24__ never came.
On a Chinese New Year’s Eve, my uncle spoke to me in Chinese, but all I could do was __25__ at him, confused, scratching my head. “Still can’t speak Chinese?” He __26__ me, “You can’t even buy a fish in Chinatown.”
“Hey, this is America, not China. I’ll get some __27__ with or without Chinese.” I replied and turned to my mom for __28__.
“Remember to ask for fresh fish, Xin Xian Yu,” she said, handing over a $20 bill. I __29__ the words, running down straight into the streets of Chinatown.
I found the fish __30__ surrounded in a sea of customers. “I’d like to buy some fresh fish,” I shouted to the fishman. But he __31__ my English words and turned to serve the next customer. The laugh of the people behind increased __32__ their impatience. With every __33__, the breath of the dragons on my back grew stronger-my blood boiling- __34__ me to cry out, “Xian Sheng Yu, please.” “Very Xian Sheng,” I repeated. The crowd erupted into laughter. My face turned __35__ and I ran back home __36__, except for the $20 bill I held tightly in my pocket.
Should I laugh or cry? They’re Chinese. I’m Chinese. I should feel right at __37__. Instead, I was the joke, a disgrace to the language.
Sometimes, I laugh at my fish __38__, but, in the end, the joke is on __39__. Every laugh is a culture __40__; every laugh is my heritage fading away.
