And yet my family never watched his lacrosse games.We did watch some of his marathons,but that wasn’t until he was in his
20s.When
Bob
was
in
his
glory
days,our Shanghainese-born parents were bent on getting him into medical school.There was a loving aspect to it:I can remember my father working through math books with him,lesson by lesson,at the big blackboard in the attic.Bob never did become a doctor,though;and neither did I.It wasn’t until my younger sister came along that someone in the family finally wore a white coat.
Bob today could be the fittest 58-year-old on the planet.His doctor estimates his biological age at 35;he’s still big mountains in the Himalayas.And,like Jeremy Lin,he’s charming.No one sees Bob without leaving with a laugh.He sometimes jokes he could be mayor of his building,and it’s true.To know him is to cheer for him.
And yet my parents did not cheer for him.What if my mother had sat on the sidelines with her statistics,like Jeremy Lin’s mother?What if my father had played videos of athletes for my brother to watch and imitate?It’s hard not to wonder.
And how did Jeremy Lin’s parents manage to do these remarkable things?Amy Chua,the tiger mother,recalls her immigrant
father
