My mother used to ask me what the most important part of the body was. I got different answers at different ages.

When I was young, I thought sound was very important to us, so I said, “My ears, Mom.”But she shook her head and said no. Several years passed, and she asked me again. I believed that I got the right answer after thinking it over. So I told her, “Sight is very important to everyone so it must be our eyes.” But she told me I was wrong. I tried many times after that, but her answer was always the same. Till last year, my grandma died. Everybody was crying, everybody was hurt. My mom looked at me and asked me with tears in her eyes, “Do you know the answer now?” I was surprised when she asked me this question then. “My son, the answer is your shoulder. Everyone needs a shoulder to cry on(倾诉的对象).”

Finally ,I learned all she hoped is that I can have enough love and friends so that I will have a shoulder to cry on when I need it.

My family and I have just returned from a family reunion(团聚). Six years ago, my aunt and uncle decided to move to Los Angeles. I was still young when they left so I did not remember them very well. Since moving, they have had two children, a boy and a girl. It was my chance to get to know my family and meet my cousins for the first time.

My uncle now works in the film business. His job is to translate(翻译) English dialogue into Chinese. Nowadays it is quite common for some American films to have some parts with Chinese. We had some really enjoyable days in Los Angeles. We went to the beach a few times and went on a tour of a film studio.

However, the best part of the trip was learning about my family. I could not believe how similar we all are. It is easy to tell we are a part of the same family. My dad and uncle have a lot in common. They are quite short, like making jokes about their hair loss(缺失), and really enjoying eating seafood.

My mum and aunt are both quite tall with curly hair, and are interested in Beijing Opera and going for long walks. Even my cousin Sunny and I are similar! We both have big eyes and long, straight hair. We like playing the same games and we are all scared of spiders! Also, we both find maths too difficult but are quite good at speaking English. I am so glad we had the Chance to visit Los Angeles. I hope they can visit China in the near future.
