We all gathered round on the verandah after dinner and I taped the story on a cassette recorder. The story of my family begins with a bandit raid in a village in China and a boy captured by the robbers. It is also the story of three sisters who married the same man and a young girl given away to pay a debt. My Grandfather died the following year but our story has been recorded for the next generations.
