My family survived very well before 1949 too.

After 1949, we survive too. But since 176, we have lived a much better life as most Chinese.

The sure thing is we have been there all the time. But I don't need to thank Mao and Xi. 

My father fought Japanese as well as Americans in korean. So we have been part of China.

I should thank Deng's folks since they offered me an opportunity to go college. Without them, I must be a farmer no matter how much contribution my dad made for China. But, I will be still around too even without Deng.
