Both of my two sons were in Toronto before, but they moved with us to Ottawa when they were quite young. They went to school there, grew up there. Later, one of my sons went to Canada's east city called Halifax and the other moved to the west to Vancouver. My wife and I were left in the middle.
As we nearly retired (退休), we started to think where we should spend our years. For several reasons we decided to live in a small town on Vancouver Island. It was close to one of my sons. However, the son moved to Hollywood soon after he had got another job there. I helped him move.
We still lived a happy life in our little west town but we paid a price. We missed some important events such as our grandchildren's birth. We have missed watching them grow up; we have missed dinners and basketball weekends with them. Our home, while very comfortable, was also very quiet.
Every fall we travel to see the children. We usually fly, first to California to see our son Scott and spend a week or more with him trying to catch up on everything we've missed. Then, usually in November, we make the even longer trip east across Canada to see Travis and our grandchildren, who were about their twenties.
Luckily, both our sons are doing well and grandchildren are growing up straight and tall. We love all of them and they love us. We've very happy but there are times I think about the things we didn't see: the tears or the smile on the granddaughters' face, their school time, my son's joy at successes in work.
Life has been good for our family but we have all paid a price.

Last year, I went to Italy as an exchange student. Before leaving, I asked my mother what gifts I should take to the teachers and the students there. Mom said that the Chinese fan (扇子) was a good choice, for China is known as "the Fan Kingdom". I couldn't agree more, because it is more than a tool for cooling. It's also an important part of Chinese culture.
I went shopping and bought three kinds of Chinese fans. The first kind was the feather (羽毛) fan for the teachers. It was the symbol of Zhuge Liang, a very smart man in ancient China. The fans I bought for the girls were silk (丝绸的) fans. They were also called "round silk fans". Fans of this kind were made of silk with paintings of beautiful women, birds or flowers. They were very popular with women of all ages. As for the boys, I picked the folding (折叠的) fans from Rongchang, a place in the west of Chongqing. The folding fans were made of paper and bamboo and there were great paintings and calligraphy (书法) on them.
At the welcome party in Italy, my new teachers and classmates were all excited to get the wonderful fans. And they were even more excited after learning about the stories and culture behind them.
