Since my grandfather pass away on few weeks ago,
my life getting more interesting and unpredictable!
There was some problem between my father and grandfather.
It is too complex relationship and hard to describe the full interesting family story here. Hence I represent my dad to the grandpa's funeral.
Here,
I meet a lot of strange relative that I could say never meet before in my 19 years life. May be I meet them before when I was kid. According to my father, the CHIN family is not less than 200 members!!! My father's grandfather call 陈来 got more than one wife, I'm not sure 2 wife or 3 wife. My grandfather call 陈天福, elder son of 陈来 also got 2 wife. He got 9 children plus 1 more dead in early life. My dad is his elder son.
Due to the complication, I ever plan to draw a big tree chart and find out who is the family members...
It is must for me, because life is unpredictable, who know the girl I looking for is under my family tree?
In this big CHIN family,
each member keeping their own secret to each other,
and not telling to their younger generation.
In this funeral, I know few "new" cousins.
They said they don't know of my existence and their parents never tell them about me, my family, and the pass story.
In this new era, I think nothing secret anymore not to telling to their younger generation. We as a young generation should know what the pass, so that we not repeat the wrong again. History teach you to not repeat the wrong again. I always like to ask about my dad and mom's old story and how they meet until married. Do you?
Recently, I got a secret from my father that kept for 20 years.
It's UNPREDICTABLE!
From 陈来 until me 陈军豪, I'm 4th generation.
The 4th generation members now busy on study and working.
We still young, nobody care on the pass.
But, I willing to find out more, and I will tell this story to my son.
