All about Xiamen, my grandpapa con't

My grandpapa's father passed away when he was 10months old, back to Oct of 1919. His mother was young, only 21years old. Like most of the widows in that time in mainland China, she did not get marry again for her whole life. She adopted two girls, one a year elder than my grandpapa and the other a year younger. From then on, she worked very hard at home to grow up all her kids.

My grandpapa did not disappoint his mum. He had big success in his life and 'shined the door' of the family.
