Today, I had family reunion dinner with my family. And I learned amazing things about my family history that i never quite knew before...

For one, my great-grandfather was a brigade general, and the second-in-command to Sun Zhong Shan. O.o I never knew my family was that high-ranking in the military... My great grandfather also command the whole of the chinese military in Singapore before WWII began too... My dad said his story is actually recorded somewhere in the some Southeast Asia History place... As he gave some sort of an interview.

He hid the pair of guns he used to protect Sun Zhong Shan somewhere in the walls of the house he lived in, and there was a police case on it. XD Apparently, by right, it should belong to us... But we never claimed it because it was illegal...

There was also lots of attacks and slaughtering of his family, so he came over to Singapore to hide and marry, and settle down and stuff... He also changed his name to Lee Mun Hee... And my grandpa can't recall his original name anymore...

From what I remember of the convo, He became the principal of a school and the co-founder of St. John's in Singapore. While he was captured during WWII, he was released, and led a relatively good life during that time, because his medic skills were highly prized. No wonder my grandpa had not much idea on the horrors of the war...

Also, I learned that my family is actually Hakka. But since no one, not even my grandpa, was taught anything in Hakka, so we ended up being Cantonese instead. XDDD

I am proud to be a part of this family. =^^= Sure, we're all quirky and weird (even for me), with more than a few screws loose, but we're all AWESOME people. ^-^ And I'm really happy to see all of them again.

Back to the present?
