The purpose of this blog is to share with the world what I call Hongisms. Hong is my dad and he tends to say some things that I would like to have written down for memory purposes. It's like
Shit My Dad Says, except my dad is a Chinese immigrant, so the English language tends to take a hit every so often. Whether it's a simple remark about Gilmore Girls or profound knowledge to be passed down to my children, Hong always makes me smile with his one-liners.
I just got off the phone with Hong and we were talking about family history (for a paper I have yet to write) and he talked about how he left China and worked hard in college so that I could have an education and make an impact on the world. So to start this blog:
"I worked my ass off so that you could have everything handed to you on a silver platter and do some good with it, like a Kennedy."
