What kind of experience is it to be a second generation?

1. First of all, I have to speak Cantonese. As a foreigner, more than two-thirds of my class are local residents in junior high school. Although I grew up watching Jade Terrace, my Cantonese with weak language ability still stays at the level of knowing and listening but not speaking. Later, when I went to high school and university, I found that many people born in Shenzhen after 199 could not speak Cantonese ... As for the reason, I think it may be that the language environment in Shenzhen was basically Mandarin after 199, so even if it was,

2. Secondly, the second generation grew up with this city, so they have deep feelings for Shenzhen. As a child living in gongming town, Guangming New District, a suburb of Shenzhen, when I was a child, it still belonged to the border of Baoan District. There are open ditches along the main road, pine and cypress. There are few commercial houses, and rows of "small high-rise" peasant houses are everywhere. The public security is not good, and horrible cases often come out in the park. The teacher always tells us to go home after school and don't run around. There are dump trucks, motorcycles and trucks running everywhere on the road, which makes people believe that this is Shenzhen (in fact, at that time, we sometimes didn't really think it was Shenzhen, and we were often called Shenzhen when we went to the city .. However, with the growth of age, changes are taking place around us. In junior high school, Songbai Road began to be rebuilt, and finally there were street lamps and sidewalks. After graduating from junior high school, Gongming had over the rainbow Shopping Mall. In high school, Guangming New District began to develop, new libraries and sports centers were completed, commercial housing communities were built one after another, and a Pizza Hut was opened ... Now, although there is still a big gap between Gongming and the urban area, it is already here.

In fact, these things are not trivial, but when you have experienced the growth of a city and are happy about it, I think this city can be called your hometown.

3. Guangdong's education is often despised by various mainland provinces, but English education in Shenzhen is very confident. At that time, Longman's primary English was used in primary schools. At that time, some junior high schools in mainland provincial capitals began to teach ABC with PEP, and Shenzhen primary schools began to speak tenses. Moreover, Koko's love for English has become a common memory of Shenzhen children. The English textbook for junior high school is Oxford Shenzhen Edition. It is from the junior high school textbook that I know that the Window of the World is the window of the world and Splendid China is splendid China.
