00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:03.360
I think throughout my whole life I was always translating

2
00:00:03.360 --> 00:00:07.600
on behalf of my grandma for my family in the U.S.

3
00:00:08.680 --> 00:00:14.960
but my mom was in the U.S. because of work.

4
00:00:14.960 --> 00:00:17.800
but my mom was in the U.S. because of work.

5
00:00:17.800 --> 00:00:21.440
She first went for her master’s and she had a job in the Bay area.

6
00:00:26.000 --> 00:00:28.160
Lily三岁的时候，她妈妈就走了

7
00:00:30.280 --> 00:00:30.960
我跟她讲

8
00:00:30.960 --> 00:00:33.680
没有妈妈的孩子要当家

9
00:00:33.680 --> 00:00:35.560
她问我什么叫当家

10
00:00:35.560 --> 00:00:38.120
我跟她说当家就是会做事

11
00:00:38.120 --> 00:00:39.240
会管事

12
00:00:39.240 --> 00:00:43.080
会帮妈妈爸爸做事，就叫当家

13
00:00:43.080 --> 00:00:46.920
大概这个小孩三个月还是不知道五个月我妈妈就一直待在那里

14
00:00:46.920 --> 00:00:49.320
那里语言不通，因为我们待在Sausalito

15
00:00:49.320 --> 00:00:50.640
不像在旧金山，中国人很多

16
00:00:50.640 --> 00:00:53.000
不像在旧金山，中国人很多

17
00:00:53.000 --> 00:00:54.680
那里中国人很少

18
00:00:56.120 --> 00:00:58.560
（我在那里）语言不通

19
00:00:58.560 --> 00:01:00.280
我不是讲英文（跟Lily）交流

20
00:01:00.280 --> 00:01:02.960
但我的中文她能够听懂

21
00:01:02.960 --> 00:01:05.440
不容易，真的不容易

22
00:01:05.440 --> 00:01:08.400
去买一件大衣裳

23
00:01:08.400 --> 00:01:09.640
去买一件大衣裳

24
00:01:09.640 --> 00:01:12.280
回来给Lily做一套连衫裙

25
00:01:12.280 --> 00:01:15.040
做两条裤子，还做双鞋子

26
00:01:15.040 --> 00:01:16.880
她去拍照片

27
00:01:16.880 --> 00:01:19.640
（被）带到东带到西，好看死了

28
00:01:21.520 --> 00:01:25.840
（上海话）因为之前是外婆带我的，她也不是很喜欢讲普通话

29
00:01:25.840 --> 00:01:31.800
所以从小到大她住在我家，会和我讲上海话

30
00:01:31.800 --> 00:01:33.280
再回到上海后

31
00:01:33.280 --> 00:01:36.280
有机会的时候，我不止和外婆讲（上海话）

32
00:01:36.280 --> 00:01:37.520
还有其他家里人

33
00:01:37.520 --> 00:01:39.960
NYU Shanghai has many students from Shanghai as well,

34
00:01:39.960 --> 00:01:43.360
也可以多讲讲。（可以多练习上海话），挺好的

35
00:01:43.360 --> 00:01:47.040
他们一家对我妈妈真的很看重很看重

36
00:01:47.040 --> 00:01:49.640
他们就认为我妈妈牺牲了自己

37
00:01:49.640 --> 00:01:52.080
在美国没有什么我牺牲了为小孩的

38
00:01:52.080 --> 00:01:54.200
所以他们觉得我妈妈很伟大

39
00:01:54.200 --> 00:01:56.600
今天早上（Lily的）奶奶来了，来看我妈妈

40
00:01:56.600 --> 00:01:58.280
一见面就是一个大拥抱

41
00:02:03.560 --> 00:02:06.000
Shanghai was always a second home to me.

42
00:02:06.000 --> 00:02:08.400
I would spend every summer,

43
00:02:08.400 --> 00:02:12.760
or every other summer here and I also have family in New York.

44
00:02:12.760 --> 00:02:16.480
So when I was applying for college when I saw NYU and NYU Shanghai,

45
00:02:16.480 --> 00:02:20.880
I thought how cool is there that these campuses where I have family,

46
00:02:20.880 --> 00:02:24.680
And then when I got in I just thought I have to go,

47
00:02:24.680 --> 00:02:27.800
And then when I got in I just thought I have to go,

48
00:02:27.800 --> 00:02:29.320
I have to see how it is

49
00:02:29.320 --> 00:02:31.320
and I also really missed my grandma

50
00:02:31.320 --> 00:02:33.840
so I wanted to be able to spend more time with her.

51
00:02:33.840 --> 00:02:36.000
so I wanted to be able to spend more time with her.
