Start:
Papa, Mama, Ankong, Ama--I know I haven’t been the most diligent son lately. (He kowtows, burns paper money). But how can I explain--what it is like for me to work in the modern world -- and then return here, to my home village, where everything remains as you and your fathers decided it should be?

David Henry Hwang, Golden Child, Dramatists Play Service, 1999, pp.11-12.
