关键词：Chinese中文Chinatown唐人街bill 钞票empty-handed两手空空effort 努力Born in America, Lin Ming spoke English, not Chinese, the language of his ancestors. When he was three, his parents flashed cards with Chinese characters at his face, but he pushed them aside. Lin Ming’s mom believed he would learn when he was ready, but the time never came.

On a Chinese New Year’s Eve, Lin Ming’s uncle spoke to him in Chinese, but all he could do was staring at him, confused. “Still can’t speak Chinese?” He laughed, “You can’t even buy a fish in Chinatown.”“Hey, this is America, not China. I will get some right now without Chinese.” Lin Ming replied and turned to his mom for information. “When you get to the fish stand, remember to ask for fresh fish, Xin Xian Yu,” she said, handing over a $20 bill. Lin Ming repeated the words running downstairs into the streets of Chinatown.

He found the fish market surrounded i n a sea of customers. “I’d like to buy some fresh fish,” he shouted to the fisher man. But he ignored Lin Ming’s English words and turned to serve the next customer. Lin Ming felt embarrassed and cried out loudly, “Xian Sheng Yu, please”. The crowd erupted into laughter. His face turned red and then ran back home empty-handed, except for the $20 bill held tightly in his pocket. That day, Lin Ming knew the importance of Chinese as a native language. He decided to study Chinese with every effort.
