some CDs of Chinese popular. When I first heard Jay Chou’s
                   songs, I could not understand and wondered questioned whether

                   my Chinese level had been degraded.
                   Back in Ohio, many people joked about Chinese kungfu, with a
                   song – Everybody goes to Kungfu fighting, later becoming
                   Kung-fu Panda’s theme song. I did not know Kung-fu, what I

                   knew was Taekwondo. And finger jabs on eyes. So Neji’s finger
                   jabs, and Bang’s are from there. Rock Lee’s Leaf hurricane was

                   from round house kick.
                   Michael did wrestling, he got bandaged on his forehead, and
                   Adam did Boxing.
                   Ping-pong, My cousin Jason Wang, a player who does video

                   games, tennis, ping-pong, Piano and guitar and Soccer; he
                   created 2 clubs in high school; one of them was ping-pong club.
                   He invited me and Yu Hung or Bill to join. Later Bill Yu-Hung

                   got a first place in a tournament it hosted, and went onto a
                   newspaper. Me did not get into top 3. I then won a Kimpton MS
                   hosted ping-pong tournament, I then won the first place in that.
                   My classmates got impressed, clapped and cheered in the end. I

                   did a side-spin serve in ping-pong. Jason Wang merges tennis
                   into ping-pong to attack on many places on the table, I mean
                   only slice can possibly work, but he can also slice back.

                   9th Grade
                   The first person I had met was in an English exam, named
                   Jackson Wang, who was a genius later taking many AP classes
                   in University High school, and went to Cal-tech as a Mechanical

                   Engineering major. As the one only who cared about my
                   shoulder wound in college. He likes playing piano and listening

                   to Cantonese songs. He then commited suicide the day before
                   his college graduation, maybe because he did not want to go to
                   graduate school demanded by his parents.
                   During my freshmen year, my mom befriended a Chinese

                   immigrant mom, Zhang jian, who has 2 children, Joy Chen and
                   Justin Chen. Joy Chen, 3 years older than me, did a musical in
                   University High School, Beauty and the Beast, later became a

                   piano and accounting major in USC, and then got married.
