Food feeds the soul. To the extent that we all eat food, and we all have souls, food is the single great united across cultures. With food, there are more opportunities to connect to memory and family and place. 1.

Food as identity. French, Mexican, Chinese, and Italian cuisines each involve dozens of distinct regional foods. Every single culture and religion uses food as part of their celebrations.

2. Every season, every harvest, and every holiday has its own food, and this is true in America as well.

3. Sometimes food means living on. While the Chinese cooks who exported “Chinese” food around the world ate authentic cooking at home, the dishes they served, thus creating new cuisines entirely, were based on economic necessity.

Food as pleasure. Things have changed dramatically in the past 20 years when it comes to food in France. Some of the ideas of French food life may be a performance. France is this pastoral nation where people are spending five hours a day going to 12 different markets to get their food. 4.

Food as status. The introduction of global foods and brands has compounded food as a status symbol for some Chinese. 5. In China, people eat food not necessarily for taste, but for texture. You can find food from all of the provinces of China in Shanghai, as well as every kind of global food style imaginable.

A. Food as survival.

B.Food as community.

C.It’s the hardest to give up.

D. The celebratory nature of food is universal.

E.It is an accumulation, a function of your experiences

F.How and why you eat your food, is, of course, also very cultural.

G. But food in Italy is love, then nutrition, then history, then pleasure.

Dear Maya Shao-ming,

To me, June 6, 1990 is a special day. My long awaited dream came true _______your father cried, “A girl!” You are _______just a second child. You, little daughter, are the link to our _______ line, the legacy of another woman’s pain and sacrifice 31 years ago.

Let me tell you about your Chinese grandmother. Somewhere in Hong Kong, in the late fifties, a young waitress found herself pregnant by a cook, probably a co-worker at her restaurant. She carried the baby to term, suffered to give it birth, and kept the little girl for the first three months of her life. I like to think that my mother—your grandmother—_______me and fought to _______me on her own, _______ that the daily struggle was too hard. Worn down by the _______ of the new baby and perhaps the constant threat of starvation, she made the painful decision to _______ her girl so that both of us might have a chance for a better life.

_______, I was dropped at the orphanage steps or somewhere else. I will probably never know the ________. Having a baby in her ________state would have brought shame on the family in ________, so she probably kept my existence a secret. Once I was out of her life, it was ________ I had never been born.

Nevertheless, someone gave me a lucky name “Siu Wai”. “Siu” means “little,” and “Wai” means “clever”. Therefore, my baby name was “Clever little one.” Who chose those words? Who cared enough to note my arrival in the world?

I lost my ________name for 18 years. It was Americanized for convenience to “Sue”. But like an ill-fitting coat, it made me ________. I hated the name. But even more, I hated being Chinese. It ________ many years to become proud of my Asian origin and work up the courage to take back my birth-name.

Your name, “Shao-ming”, is very much like mine—“Shao” means “________”. And “ming” is “bright”, as in a shining sun or moon. Whose lives will you brighten, little Maya? Your past is more complete than mine, and each day I cradle you in your babyhood, generously giving you the loving care I ________for my first two years. When I pat you, I comfort the ________baby inside me who ________cries for her mother.

Sweet Maya, it doesn’t matter what you “become” later on. You have already fulfilled my wildest dreams.

I love you.
