My grandma. --20110802
My grandma would like to talk with me when I contacted my parents through skype yesterday. Frankly speaking, I was not natural when I talked with her. When I was a kid, she preferred boys than girls, she ignored me too much. I was deep hurt. Even if we got along a little better after I entered university. It was still difficult for us to be sincere. But I am clear about one thing: no matter what she has done, she is the elder, and she is the mother of my father, I should respect her all the time.
She asked whether I liked the new job, whether I got a boyfriend, and she asked:"Will you work in this factory for a long time?" She always addressed "company" as "factory", she thought that a factory is much common. She's nearly 70 years old, she couldn't understand the modern social system. I didn't correct her:"Yes, it is a nice factory. I like it."
I told her to take care of herself, and I would invite her to my wedding in the future. I am an adult now, I can choose the way I get along with her. I hope she will be healthy and happy. I will try to forget the unhappy moments.

My grandmother. --2011.08.02
I called my parents on Skype yesterday and my grandmother wanted to talk to me. Truth be told, it was an unnatural conversation. Ever since I was little, my grandmother made it clear that she preferred boy over girls. She often ignored me as a child, leaving me deeply hurt.
Our relationship improved a little when I went to college but, it was still difficult to be sincere. Despite the pain my grandmother has caused, I recognize that she is my father's mother and I must respect her because she is the elder of the family.
When I speak to her, she asks me if I like my job or if I have found a boyfriend yet. My grandmother refers to the company I work at as a factory. Being 70-years old, she has a more traditionalistic view of society. I don't expect her to understand the structure of the modern society so I don't correct her.
As an adult, I have made the conscious decision to forget the unpleasent memories of the past. Rather, I am choosing to get along with my grandmother. I tell her to take care of herself so she can come to my wedding in the future. I truly wish her to be happy and healthy.
