Where I Am From

I am from logical thoughts, math, physics and chemistry. Equations and functions made up my bones, curiosity accelerates in my blood, delivers thermal energy into my heart. I am from the Spring Festival reunion, the steamed fish, dumplings and fireworks-lightened night. I am from the shuffled Poker cards, myth telling, pumping up and counting down. I am from the lucky red, the communism red. Time spins the pottery wheel, shaping clay into teapot and cups, impressive china. Please treat it with love and care, because China  is where I'm from.
