Just before thanksgiving, my parents, my cousin, and I learned how to play Cantonese style mahjong from my grandparents. They taught us how to sort and strategize with our pieces and, ironically, I felt a lot of thanks for them. It was almost near Thanksgiving and we were excited to play with more family members. I’m really grateful that I have grandparents who are able to teach me more about my Chinese background and these traditions. I love being able to have these sort of downtimes with them and learn more about my culture.
