Each year whenever it&#8217;s my birthday, my aunt gives me an envelope with a Chinese symbol on it, and it commonly expresses good wishes and luck. I wasn&#8217;t too aware that he was part-Chinese, because he was born in Mexico, until I was 13 years old. My dad was born in Mexico but his mother is half-Mexican and half-Chinese. Getting to know about cultures is hard for me if I can&#8217;t understand the languages. But over the years, I&#8217;ve learned a lot from my dad&#8217;s family whenever we celebrate a holiday or a birthday. I love dim sum, hotpot, and red envelopes! <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For Dias Los Muertos, we are decorating an altar for the Mexican side of the family. We have a restaurant that&#8217;s down the street called &#8220;Estrellitas&#8221; that&#8217;s been part of my dad&#8217;s family since the 1970s, and we go there a lot for family gatherings. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>For this prompt, we were assigned to make a photo blog and take a picture [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[4],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-369","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-story_telling"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/freestyleacademy.rocks\/~JackC\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/369","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/freestyleacademy.rocks\/~JackC\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/freestyleacademy.rocks\/~JackC\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/freestyleacademy.rocks\/~JackC\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/freestyleacademy.rocks\/~JackC\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=369"}],"version-history":[{"count":8,"href":"https:\/\/freestyleacademy.rocks\/~JackC\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/369\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":395,"href":"https:\/\/freestyleacademy.rocks\/~JackC\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/369\/revisions\/395"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/freestyleacademy.rocks\/~JackC\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=369"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/freestyleacademy.rocks\/~JackC\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=369"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/freestyleacademy.rocks\/~JackC\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=369"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
