I lost my Chinese name for 18 years. It was Americanized for convenience to “Sue”. But like an ill­fitting coat, it made me uncomfortable. I hated the name. But even more, I hated being Chinese. It took many years to become proud of my Asian origin and work up the courage to take back my birth­name. That, plus a little knowledge of classroom Cantonese, is all the Chinese culture I have to offer you. Not white, certainly, but not really Asian, I try to pave the way between the two worlds and bridge the gap for you. Your name, “Shao­ming”，

　　is very much like mine—“Shao” means “little”. And “ming” is “bright”， as in a shining sun or moon. Whose lives will you brighten, little Maya? Your_past_is_more_complete_than_mine,_and each day I cradle you in your babyhood, generously giving you the loving care I lacked for my first two years. When I pat you, I comfort the lost baby inside me who still cries for her mother.

　　Sweet Maya, it doesn't matter what you “become” later on. You have already fulfilled my wildest dreams.

　　I love you，Why is June 6, 1990 a special day for Mommy?

　　A. Her dream of being a mother came true.

　　B. She found her origin from her Chinese mother.

　　C. She wrote the letter to her daughter.

　　D. Her female line was well linked.

　　How does Mommy feel about her being given away?
