Jack, a Xintong client, moved to Canada with his parents in 2004 and is currently settled in Toronto.
Jack, who works in one of the five largest banks in Canada, has a suit and ties, a gentle personality and extraordinary conversation. However, who would have thought that 16 years ago, he was an "Internet addicted boy" who spent all day in Internet cafes and was ignorant. Jack said that when everyone was extremely disappointed with him, his parents took him to Canada, cutting off his life from his past. After coming to Canada, he once felt that "life is gone", and now he realized that it is "a new life has begun." For him, immigration is a rebirth. Next, let’s take a look at Jack’s story.
In order to break my "Internet addiction", my parents chose to immigrate
My parents are both businessmen and I can hardly see them, but what is the most important thing for children? It's company. I was rebellious during my adolescence and did everything my parents didn’t want me to do.
My parents don’t have time to accompany me, so I just take the money given by my parents to ask others to smoke and drink; my parents don’t like me to play games, so I spend in the Internet cafe every day. My parents asked me to study hard, but I just wanted to skip classes. Only I know that I am not bad by nature. originally just wanted to attract the care of my parents, but depravity is like an abyss. I take a step and get deeper and deeper, and I can't get rid of such a life in the end.
Ah Q in Lu Xun is like a mouse crossing the street. I have experienced this feeling. If everyone doesn’t say that everyone calls to beat you, even if the classmates ignore you and isolate you, there was a very bad behavior in the class at that time. Everyone said that they would be "poisoned" when they met me, so the classmates kept their distance from me. Now I think this may also be a kind of bullying on campus. Mental torture is even more painful than physical.
Having said so much, it was actually just one sentence. I was given up by everyone. In the end, I grabbed a few "friends" in the Internet cafe, just like pulling a life-saving straw, proving that I was still a living person with "love".
Actually, I was unhappy at first, but was when my parents told me that I was going to immigrate to Canada, I started to get angry hysterically. is more of a rebellion that I am used to. I don’t want to do anything you say.
After finishing my junior year, I, a minor, was taken to Canada by my parents.
Half a winter in Canada, the mountains, waters and "warm"
When we came to Canada it was winter, and later I realized that Canada has been winter for most of the year.
The down jacket brought from China did not work at all. The three of us were trembling in the snow. Later, we bought down jackets locally in Canada to keep warm.
My parents are cruel people. They don’t let the Internet connect, so they naturally cut off my contact with the game. I don’t want to go to school, so they let me stay aimlessly at home, without games, no cigarettes and alcohol, Do you understand this feeling of "life is gone"?
Canada's winter is long and boring, and even dazed. One day, I accidentally flipped through the book brought by my parents and saw a sentence "The moon is bright in my hometown". It is strange. When I arrived in a foreign country, I felt the artistic conception in this Tang poetry. I didn't like reading, and I started to read ancient poems, and I turned out that I was obsessed with games and began to be obsessed with Tang poetry.
My parents saw that I actually started reading books. They were very pleased and gave them one after another to me. Sometimes our family of three would communicate with the same book, Sometimes my parents would find some lecture halls to explain Chinese poetry to show me.
My father prefers to read foreign literature and often read foreign documents. He is a top student, and I can't get enough of it.My mother secretly told me that is worse than going to your dad to learn English. You have to make friends here, learn more knowledge, and always learn local languages.
Please give up the courage to speak, and my father happily agreed, but he quarreled twice in three days. I have a poor foundation, slow learning, my father is smart and has a strong learning ability. He often shows off his language talent in front of me. When I get anxious, I lose my temper and my mother reconciles it. No matter how quarrels, I was happy and finally had a home.
The house we live in does not have a garage, and the compulsory course for the three of us every morning is to "dig". Wrap it tightly, wear gloves, put on a sole cover with anti-slip cleats, take a snow shovel and a soft brush, shovel the car out of the snow dozens of centimeters thick, clean up the snow on the car, start the engine, turn on the heating and defrost, and clean up the icing, and the "dig" work is completed. Later we changed to a house with a garage, and I sometimes miss the time when the three of us dug together.
When I returned to the room, I felt that I was almost melting with my warmth. I often wonder why my parents never had time in China, but when they came to Canada, they could have endless time 24 hours a day? Why can parents be accompanied only in a foreign country?
Summer comes the second day when the ice and snow melt. After half a year of winter, the summer is so beautiful, with green trees and birds singing and flowers. My parents and I went out to climb mountains, camping , running, rowing... Summer in Canada is the world of outdoor sports . Everyone is enjoying the pleasure of the sunshine. Summer suddenly felt in my heart that "time stops like this".
Under the stars of a camping sky, my father told me that I wanted to go to school. My father patted my shoulder and said "Okay".
I won’t go into details about the days of reading. In short, it’s the old saying, hard work will pay off. In fact, the process is quite difficult, but after overcoming the language difficulties, all you have to do is happiness.
I studied for a master's degree and studied finance. After graduation, I entered one of the five major banks. My annual salary ranged from the initial 90,000 to the current 150,000.
Start a family and start a business, Canada has changed me
Last year I became a father and felt like I grew up overnight. When I returned to visit my family, my cousin lamented that Canada's beautiful mountains and rivers have made me better. My wife heard about my past from my cousin and was surprised that I was once a "Internet-addicted boy". After all, in her eyes, I have always been a scholar with a poetic and self-cultivated style.
She said, "I can't tell that my relationship with my parents was so bad." I said, "That's all the old things before immigration."
Canada is very good, but in the end my parents made me what I am now. I used to have "hate" them, hating them for forcing me to immigrate, and later I realized that immigration is their love for me. I once asked my father why I immigrated back then? The father smiled and said, "For you, for our whole family."
Everyone says that Chinese parents are selfless, so selfless that they can give up everything for their children. What a successful businessman they are. For them, immigration is to give up the career they worked hard for the first half of their lives, and they are starting from scratch. During my days in Canada, they will be bored as long as I am bored; they will be with me as long as I am depressed.
In this immigration incident, I was reborn because my parents had the courage to start over.They are the most respectable people!
My child Anna After the birth of my father, my father told me that he neglected my education for his career when he was a child. I feel sorry-
"If you have time, spend more time with Anna..."
I patted my father's shoulder and said "Okay".
