Hello guys ^_^
This video is so special to me and I got so emotional editing it. It would mean the world to me if you guys watch all of it. There is a reason I want to share this video with you guys. I want it to reach out to all of you guys out there. You will see why. It is a feel good video ^_^. The video is nothing to do with Beauty, Hair or Fashion but I felt the need to share this video with you guys and I hope you guys will enjoy it as much as I did filming it for you all =).
I finally got a chance to visit the island where my ancestors once lived. I will never forget this island and I will cherish my memories of this beautiful place that sheltered my loved ones.
I never got to meet my great grand parents but being able to visit my ancestors homelands made me feel like I knew them. The second I stepped on the island, I felt like I was at home.
I am so proud to be Hakka. I am so proud to be a Tsang. I am so proud of our island.
The reason I uploaded this video is because i wanted to share my adventure with you guys. It is not boring to learn about your heritage. It is precious. Be proud of who you are and who your ancestors were.
I realised how blessed I am when I visited Lai Chi Wo. I realised how we take things for granted and I finally see how hard my great grandparents/grandparents/parents worked in order for me to have a comfortable life.
The festival only happens every 10 years. Although island is mostly vacant now- proud descendants still come back to honor the island because it is our home. Hundreds of people fly thousands of miles to make it to this event.
What makes me sad is we don't know if there will be a next one. Even if there will be- alot of the older generation may not make it for the next one. What about is the Younger Generation (which is us)? Will we still care enough to make effort for this island?
I finally realised what a blessing it is to be able to visit my island. It is an eye opening experience that will be forever remembered in my heart.
I was born in United Kingdom and I never had a care in the world about my parents, grandparents, great grand parents home land but now I feel like the island is a part of me =) I hope you guys will be able to appreciate everything about your family. Even if you haven't met your ancestors- ask about them =). Visit the place. You won't regret it.
Much love,
Lindy Tsang
